Eddie Howe has vowed that Newcastle United will 'endeavour' to find another Bruno Guimaraes in January after the Brazil international proved a 'transformational' signing.
Europe's elite clubs did not necessarily expect that Bruno would leave Lyon mid-season or, indeed, that the Ligue 1 giants would sell but Newcastle stole a march by signing the midfielder late in the window. The rest, of course, is history.
Bruno has played a crucial role in Newcastle's turnaround in 2022 after joining a side who were fighting relegation at the time. Newcastle have since lost just four games that the influential playmaker has started in.
