Joelinton says there’s an ‘incredible’ player at Newcastle who the fans absolutely love

Newcastle United have started the new Premier League season strongly, with Joelinton once again a regular for Eddie Howe’s side.

The former Bundesliga star has retained his spot in the Newcastle🐠 midfield with the Magpies having an unusual summer transfer window that was highlighted by PSR guidelines and few new first-team signings.

Despite this, Newcastle have been impressive in the Premier League with three wins and a draw in their first four games of the season, with Joelinton🔴 playing every minute so far for Howe’s side, who are aiming for a return to Europe.

👍And Joelinton has now said which Newcastle teammate he’s noticed has become a real fan favourite.

Joelinton says Newcastle fans ‘love’ new captain Bruno Guimaraes

Speaking to , the Newcastle no. 7 highlighted how much Bruno Guimaraes♚ is loved by Magpies supporters, with the Brazilian international named the Toon’s new captain at the start of the season.

Much like Joelinton, Guimaraes has been ever-present for Newcastle this season despite a summer of transfer links to the likes of Liverpool♛, yet the former Olympique Lyonnais man has remained set on delivering for the St. James’ Park side this season, and the results speak for themselves.

🌠Joelinton said when asked about Guimaraes impact at Newcastle: “The coach held him back a bit when he first joined until he got him playing. Since then, he’s been in the starting lineup and he’s never left, there’s no way he can.

🐼“The quality he has, the leadership, the energy he brings, the experience, it’s incredible, it’s like he’s been at the club for 15 years. The fans love Bruno and he loves the fans

Guimaraes is on course to become a Newcastle legend

༺Whilst transfer interest persists around Guimaraes, there’s a real feeling in the air that Newcastle have a modern-day legend in the works with the Brazilian midfielder, who since the PIF takeover has been arguably the best player at the club.

ꦉGuimaraes has dragged Newcastle into a new era and was key in the Magpies’ run to UEFA Champions League qualification two years ago, with the midfielder one of the best at what he does in the Premier League.

✅And if Guimaraes wants to remain at Newcastle, there’s every chance that the midfielder will become a legend with the northeast side, with Toon supporters completely in love with the former Lyon star after three years at the club.
