Eddie Howe is 'really excited' about the levels Bruno Guimaraes could reach after the Brazil international made an impressive start to his Newcastle United career.
Bruno was the toast of Tyneside on Easter Sunday after scoring both goals, including a dramatic 95th-minute winner, in the Magpies' 2-1 win against Leicester City at St James' Park. It said it all about Bruno's winning mentality that it was the midfielder sprinting 82 yards at the death to get his head on the end of Joe Willock's cross to secure a priceless victory.
Newcastle did not sign Bruno to put the ball in the back of the net, but those goals against Leicester and a sensational back-heel volley at Southampton last month have earned six valuable points as Howe's side pulled away from danger. Away from goal, too, Bruno has brought a lot to this Newcastle side with his composure on the ball, accuracy in possession and ability to win it back.
