Bruno Guimaraes has revealed the conversations with Eddie Howe which has given him the 'confidence' to make a successful start to life at Newcastle United. The former Lyon playmaker is also adamant the Magpies head coach is 'crucial' to the 'big project' at St James' Park due to his winning mentality.
Guimaraes was the marquee arrival in the January transfer window, and was introduced slowly into the starting eleven. The Brazil international is one of the first names on Howe's teamsheet, and has quickly established himself as a firm favourite among the Toon Army.
Guimaraes has quickly adapted to the demands of the Premier League, and the 24-year-old has performed well as both a midfield anchor and in a box-to-box role. The midfielder has detailed his early conversations with Howe, and has explained why the head coach has already turned 'water into wine' on Tyneside.
