Bruno Guimaraes admits joining Newcastle United is the 'best decision' of his life - but it wasn't all plain sailing as he made the switch from Lyon.
The Brazilian international has enjoyed a whirlwind six months, leaving behind the comfort of Ligue 1 for a venture into the Premier League with one of the richest clubs in the world.
Since making the January move, Guimaraes has found adoration from the St. James' Park faithful, some of whom were chanting his name before he had even kicked a ball on Tyneside. However, in the days leading up to his move, the midfielder admitted he was having sleepless nights.
