Newcastle United fans can’t expect to see their club sign world stars like Robert Lewandowski but should be excited to see more players at the level of Bruno Guimaraes arriving in the short term. That’s the view of legendary commentator Clive Tyldesley who has been left intrigued with what the future holds for the club following the Saudi-led takeover.
January saw the Magpies manoeuvre the transfer window carefully, signing the likes of Kieran Trippier, Bruno Guimaraes and Dan Burn. For many, it is the signing of Guimaraes which stood out.
The Brazilian midfielder was labelled as one of the best midfielders in Europe at the time - reportedly wanted by both Arsenal and Juventus - and his performances since joining Newcastle United have done little to disprove that notion. Tyldesley, who has spent decades covering the Premier League, FA Cup and England international games, believes Guimaraes’ arrival will be a big plus when it comes to selling the club to potential arrivals.
