Bruno Guimaraes has given his backing to Newcastle United's transfer strategy when it comes to targeting players for the future. The Magpies continue to seek out senior additions to strengthen Eddie Howe's first-team squad, while also remain on the hunt for exciting young prospects.
Newcastle acted fast to land Garang Kuol from Australian side Central Coast Mariners last year and moved equally as quick to land Gambian teenager Yankuba Minteh earlier this summer. The two attacking outlets are expected to spend time away from Tyneside in the next year or two as they learn, grow and develop before trying to force their way into Howe's plans.
“What they [Newcastle] do is pick up kids for the future. They’re picking up 21, 22-year-olds, who in about five years will be at their best, you know?" Guimaraes told the Charla Podcast.
