Bruno Guimaraes will have one final request if he does join Newcastle United and that is to wear the vacant number 39 shirt.
It is a tribute to his father, Dick, who had the same rank number on the side of the taxi he drove to support his family. It was in this very taxi that Guimaraes' parents travelled nearly 270 miles every Sunday to watch their son play for Audax as a youngster.
Guimaraes has never lost sight of where he has come from - even travelling to an awards ceremony in that same yellow taxi back in 2019 - and it is easy to see why Newcastle received some glowing reports on the 24-year-old's character.
