Newcastle United midfielder Bruno Guimaraes has been better than any Magpies supporter could’ve ever imagined following his January move from Lyon. Eddie Howe’s side beat Arsenal to the signature of the 24-year-old – suggesting how highly rated he was from some of the Premier League’s elite.
After being eased into the side by Howe – coming off the bench in his opening five matches – Guimaraes did not take long to settle in. He scored on his full debut for the club in the win at Southampton and added a further four to his name in the final seven matches of the season, dragging Newcastle to the cusp of a top half finish.
But perhaps the recent statistic that has emerged of Guimaraes in a Brazil shirt is the indicator of just how good he really is. In his last four matches for the Seleção, he has registered an assist in each of them, while also netting his first international goal.
