Your Newcastle United headlines for Wednesday, January 11.
Bruno 'proud' of team-mates
Bruno Guimaraes has spoken of his pride after the Magpies nudged into the Carabao Cup semi-finals.
The Brazil international - alongside his fellow countryman Joelinton - was absolutely immense as he ran the show at St James' Park. And just a year into his Newcastle career he is now looking forward to his first semi-final appearance in a black-and-white shirt with a trip to Wembley potentially on the horizon.
Guimaraes told ChronicleLive: "We're happy with the performance but proud of the result. We competed very well against Leicester. Now it is time to relax for a little while with our families after a nice game. Then we focus on Fulham.

Ashworth transfer stance
Dan Ashworth says the Magpies cannot keep solely buy first-team players as attention turns to the future on Tyneside. Ashworth told former Toon goalkeeper Shay Given: "We've got to give these players a story and a plan of how they've got a possibility to play for this great football club.
"We have to put something together that is attractive to the player and most of the time that is about pathways. It's about 'how can I get in your first team and what are you going to do to help me?'
"If you're talking to a young player in order to achieve their potential and achieve their vision of being a Premier League footballer."

Kane to Newcastle?
Darren Bent believes Newcastle United could be serious contenders to sign Harry Kane. The England international has long been linked with a move away from Spurs in his quest to win some silverware.
Bent told talkSPORT: “Do you know someone who could be in for him? It would be quite funny. Quite fitting, actually...
"Imagine Newcastle go ‘how about breaking Shearer’s record?' "He's on 198 (goals) and he's coming up quickly on that (Shearer's record). He is more than capable of hitting 30 in a season. Newcastle have certainly got the financial capabilities of bringing someone like Harry Kane in."

Howe targets Wembley
Howe made no apologies for setting his sights on the League Cup final next month - and admitted fans had waited far too long for success in the domestic competitions.
He said post-match: "It's too long, too long a wait (for Newcastle to win a trophy). That's no criticism of anyone that's tried, but we're desperate to hurry up the processes and try to get the team successful as quickly as possible.
"That's easier said than done, and we now go to a semi-final. Getting to the semi-final is one thing, but you want to get into the final, you want to experience that."
