Bruno Guimaraes has revealed Eddie Howe helped him learn English when he first arrived on Tyneside. The Brazilian could not communicate with his new manager when he signed for Newcastle United nine months ago.
Joining from Lyon, the £35million man made it his key priority to learn English. Toon supporters have since been impressed by how quickly Guimaraes has grasped the language, with proficiency updates being posted on social media.
The 24-year-old conducted his first post-match interview in April after bagging a brace against Leicester City. Just three months after entering the country, Guimaraes’ dedication meant he could hold his own with a reporter.
