Former Newcastle United striker Shola Ameobi has hailed Bruno Guimaraes for how the midfielder has embraced Tyneside and the Toon Army.
It's nearly a year to the day since Guimaraes swapped Lyon for Newcastle, with the 25-year-old becoming an integral part of Eddie Howe's Magpies. The Brazilian helped keep Newcastle in the Premier League comfortably last term and has been perhaps their best player this season, helping Howe and co to challenge for a Champions League place.
Alongside helping their European push, Guimaraes has also been instrumental in helping Newcastle to reach the semi-finals of the Carabao Cup, which represents a real shot at silverware for the Magpies this season.
