According to former Premier League striker Peter Crouch, Bruno Guimaraes is the ideal match for Newcastle. Guimaraes, who joined the club from Lyon in 2022 for a fee of £40m, quickly won over the supporters at St James Park. While he is undoubtedly one of the most skillful players on the team, it is his dedication and enthusiasm that has endeared him to the fans. During a discussion on the latest episode of That Peter Crouch Podcast, Crouch mentioned that Newcastle faced a challenging start to the season, with numerous key players sidelined due to injuries. However, he believes that the team has shown significant improvement since then. Since his arrival, Guimaraes has made 92 appearances for the Magpies, contributing 13 goals and 12 assists. His crucial role in helping the team qualify for the Champions League last season, with 10 goal involvements (5 goals and 5 assists), emphasizes his value to the squad. Despite Newcastle’s inability to replicate their previous season’s form, with injuries playing a significant part in their struggles, Guimaraes continues to impress both on and off the field. Currently sitting in 7th place in the table with 37 points, they find themselves 12 points adrift of 4th-placed Aston Villa.
