After days of refusing to count chickens - a lesson learned from the Unai Emery saga - fans can finally relax because it is official: Bruno Guimarães is a Newcastle player.
The club announced on Sunday afternoon that the 24-year-old has joined from Lyon on a four-and-a-half-year deal. He will wear the number 39, the number of the taxi his dad once drove.
It is a staggering signing for Newcastle United : a Brazil international who was coveted by Champions League sides and has proven himself in one of Europe’s top divisions.
