Bruno Guimaraes is already a real favourite with the Newcastle United faithful.
The Brazil international has been with the club for just under two months now following his move at the end of the last transfer window from Lyon.
So far, he has made seven appearances for the Magpies.
Only two of those have been starts, as he has had to be patient in the face of some inspired form from Joe Willock, Jonjo Shelvey and Joelinton.
He got his first start against Southampton last week. In that game he stole the headlines after scoring an outrageous backheel flick – his first goal for the club.
It was a sublime piece of skill, and effectively the moment he truly announced himself at St. James’ Park.
He then started again on Saturday against Chelsea, with Willock, Shelvey and Joelinton all unavailable.
He did well again, and it is clear he is going to become a real favourite at the club.
Bruno appears to be loving life in Newcastle so far. And his agent has been speaking about him and how he’s settled in.
Alexis Malavolta revealed to Foot Mercato that there is one thing he is particularly really liking about English football.
He said: “Bruno is very happy to play for Newcastle. He realises his dream in the Premier League and he loves the intensity of this championship.
“His dream is coming true. His goal this season is being achieved as it is to keep Newcastle in the elite of football.”
Bruno looks to suit the Premier League already
Bruno supposedly loves the intensity of the Premier League, and so far it looks like he really suits English football.
For all his flair and skill, Bruno has a great engine and likes to work hard in the engine room.
The pace of Premier League football can often be high, but Bruno has shown so far that he is certainly comfortable.
Pressing is a key part of the game, and he appears to be one of those players who is resistant to pressure from defenders which is a really nice trait. It will help Newcastle become much better in possession.
Hopefully, Bruno will learn a lot in these first few months, before going to another level next season.
