Newcastle United<\/a> have completed the signing of \u00a340 million midfielder Bruno Guimaraes<\/a>, according to Fabrizio Romano<\/a>. The Brazilian could prove a vital addition as Eddie Howe’s side battle for their Premier League<\/a> lives over the next few months.<\/p>\n

Newcastle United Sign \u00a340 Million Midfielder Bruno Guimaraes<\/h2>\n

Crucial in the Push for Premier League Survival<\/h3>\n

The Magpies needed to be productive during the January transfer window in order to stand the best chance of avoiding relegation this season.<\/p>\n

They started in a promising manner, adding Kieran Trippier<\/a> to their ranks in a move that would greatly aid both their attack and defence. Next, Chris Wood<\/a> was brought in from relegation rivals Burnley<\/a> after his release clause was activated by Newcastle.<\/p>\n

However, since this, the Northern English side have struggled. Many bids have been turned down<\/a>, while in other cases the player simply isn’t interested in a move to St James’ Park despite the financial compensation on offer.<\/p>\n

In the case of Bruno Guimaraes, though, neither of these are true, as the 24-year-old is set to move to Newcastle on a contract that will last until 2026. The midfielder has already signed his paperwork and completed his medical as the Magpies look to bring him to Tyneside as quickly as possible.<\/p>\n

Guimaraes will prove a fantastic addition at St James’ Park. He can provide some real quality while playing as a central defensive midfielder, giving the team some creativity from deep. This season he already has six assists despite playing in such a defensive role. This figure would make him the Magpies’ top assister this campaign. The likes of Allan Saint-Maximin, Callum Wilson, and Chris Wood will no doubt appreciate the technical and passing prowess that the 24-year-old possesses, he will certainly link up well with Eddie Howe’s top attackers to the delight of fans.<\/p>\n
