Eddie Howe has predicted that Newcastle United's summer transfer targets will be 'inspired' by the joyous scenes at St James' Park of late as the Magpies do 'everything' they can to attract more players like Bruno Guimaraes.
Bruno, of course, sparked wild celebrations at St James' last Sunday with a 95th-minute winning goal as Newcastle all but secured their Premier League safety with a 2-1 victory against Leicester City. It was Newcastle's fifth win in a row at home and, given the remarkable atmosphere inside the stadium in recent months, perhaps, it is not a surprise that Howe has picked up 69% of his points at St James' since taking charge.
The chance to play in front of those supporters at St James' was a key factor in Bruno and Kieran Trippier deciding to swap life playing in Europe for an immediate relegation battle. Now that Newcastle are in a more stable position - albeit not mathematically safe just yet - those scenes that were beamed around the world at the weekend could yet help the Magpies in the months to come.
