Eddie Howe has reiterated that Newcastle United 'desperately' want Bruno Guimaraes to grow with the club in the years to come as the Magpies' head coach looks to make his side 'stronger'.
Bruno has been linked with a move to Real Madrid, but Newcastle certainly have no plans to cash in on their talisman. In fact, Howe sees the speculation as a 'compliment' and a reflection of just how well Bruno has played since joining the club from Lyon in January.
The challenge moving forward, of course, is for Newcastle to keep progressing so that Bruno and others can realise their grand ambitions at St James' Park rather than having to look elsewhere. Bruno, after all, vowed that Newcastle were 'going to be a big power in world football' at his unveiling earlier this year.
