Newcastle United confirm signing of Bruno Guimaraes

Brazilian international Bruno Guimaraes, who claimed Olympic gold in Tokyo 2020 last year, is the latest new face in St. James’s Park amid their recruiting campaign.

What did Eddie Howe say about Guimaraes?

The Magpies have confirmed the takeover of the Lyon midfielder in a £33m deal, while the Guimaraes are Newcastle’s latest major signing under Howe’s watch. The Brazilian international, who claimed Olympic gold with Selecao at Tokyo 2020 last year, is coming to St James’ Park as perhaps the flagship purchase of their January transfer window, so far the second most valued player in the club’s history. Bruno Guimaraes represents another big signing for Tyneside as Eddie Howe continues to build his squad from last fall’s takeover to avoid a hotly contested relegation battle at the wrong end of the PL table.

Bruno Guimaraes strengthens the group immediately ready for the upcoming challenge. According to Eddie Howe, Bruno was one of the outstanding performers in France and is a full-fledged international for Brazil, so Howe has no doubt that his supporters will be very pleased to watch him. they are considering welcoming him to the club on their return from international duty.

A little about Bruno Guimaraes

Arriving in Europe in 2020 after a prolific run of success in his home country with Atlético Paranaense, Bruno Guimaraes has continued to grow in stature, helping Lyon qualify for the Europa League in this first campaign on the continent. Guimaraes was another key figure for the club in this term, even if they ended up locked in the middle holding table, with his performance among the more attractive among his teammates. Such general form, however, saw him frustrated, with the player pointing out that Bruno felt his creativity was trapped in the top flight of French football – and while a move to a club in a less precarious position might have been preferable, the lure of PL football is that that he clearly enjoys.
