Eddie Howe talks about joy of Newcastle United's £33.5million bonus

Eddie Howe has spoken about Newcastle United's £33.5million bonus when it comes to Brazilian ace Bruno Guimaraes. The majority of football observers thought that the Magpies had merely landed a defensive midfielder when he signed from Lyon in late January.

With Newcastle now sitting 12 points above the drop zone, Bruno's goals are proving to be a huge part of United's climb away from the relegation zone.

Even Howe admits he did not sign Bruno to score goals and win games in the same fashion he did against the Foxes, but after the game he said: "Goals weren't necessarily one of the areas where we felt he would enhance us as a team, but he has, he's scored some key goals for us.
