Glen Johnson has warned against a move for Newcastle United talisman Bruno Guimaraes this summer.
Reports have linked Liverpool with a move for Guimaraes, who has emerged as one of the Premier League’s best midfielders since arriving in January last year. After making his name at Lyon, the Brazilian joined Newcastle amid a relegation battle, helping the club survive before securing Champions League football - at Liverpool’s expense - last season.
Alexis Mac Allister has already signed as the first name of Jurgen Klopp’s midfield rebuild and Guimaraes would undeniably be another excellent addition. However, former Reds star Johnson highlighted the Magpies’ Champions League status as a potential hurdle to enticing the 25-year-old.
