The saga of Bruno Guimaraes to Newcastle continues and it is now set for a fresh twist, as a former target could boost the Magpies' chances of landing the Brazilian.
Newcastle have launched a £33.5million bid for the Lyon midfielder which was believed to be accepted, although the club categorically denied doing so in a damning statement.
Despite this, the move seems to be going ahead, and Sky Sports reported that the midfielder would undergo a medical on Friday ahead of a move to England.
