Newcastle United's marquee signing of the January transfer window - Brazilian midfielder Bruno Guimaraes - was announced this afternoon as the Magpies finally completed the deal for a fee which could be worth up to €50million.
The Brazil international will take the number 39 shirt at St James' Park, as he did at Lyon.
This is a tribute to his Father, who is a taxi driver and carries the same number on his car. Guimaraes is said to be very close to his family and keeps in regular contact with them despite his career taking him to Europe.
