What Newcastle’s Bruno Guimaraes has done more than any other Premier League player so far this season

Since signing for Newcastle United, it’s safe to say that Bruno Guimaraes has been a revelation.

Alexander Isak named Guimaraes “the best” after Newcastle’s 4-0 win against Leicester City, which goes to show how highly he is regard😼ed by his teammates at St. James’ Park.

Ahead of the contest, Ruud van Nistelrooy hailed Guimaraes as well for the “power” he brings to Newcastle’s midfield alongside 🥂꧅Joelinton.

Guimaraes is a fan favourite at St. James’ Park, as even Joelinton noted, stating that it seems l💯ike he has been a Newcastle player for 15 years.

Perhaps a key reason why that remains the case is because while Eddie Howe’s side have often been remarkably inconsistent this campaign, Bruno Guimaraes has largely been in top-class form.
