Newcastle United star Bruno Guimaraes has been hailed as one of the Premier League ’s best midfielders by Roy Keane and Jamie Carragher.
Guimaraes joined Newcastle in a deal worth £40million from Lyon in January after the club fought off competition from rivals, including Arsenal. The Brazilian international has fitted well into Eddie Howe’s side and has already made a huge difference to the team, contributing seven goals and two assists in 24 appearances across all competitions from central midfield.
The 24-year-old scored twice in Newcastle’s 5-1 thrashing of Brentford on the weekend and was picked out by Carragher for praise on Sky Sports’ Monday Night Football programme. Carragher highlighted that Guimaraes had the most tackles, ball carries, chances created and through balls of any central midfielder in the Premier League per 90 minutes this season.
