Bruno Guimaraes has proven himself to be Newcastle United’s most important player this season. That belief was only further evidenced by defeat to Aston Villa on Sunday, a game he missed it with an ankle injury.
Guimaraes was the first signing to make the wider world sit up and take note of Newcastle’s Saudi-backed project in January 2022. Yes, Kieran Trippier was first, but the Brazilian had his best years ahead of him, with reported interest from Arsenal at the time, and he was signing up for a relegation battle.
