Newcastle United returned to form with an 8-0 triumph away to Sheffield United, equaling their largest ever Premier League victory.
The Magpies showed no indications of a European hangover following their 0-0 stalemate with AC Milan, as a Premier League record-breaking eight different players scored at Bramall Lane.
Bruno Guimaraes, a Brazilian international, scored his team’s seventh goal. He celebrated his goal by tucking the ball beneath his shirt in honor of his wife Ana, who recently announced that she is expecting their second child.
Guimaraes also hinted to his future at the club during his goal celebration, pointing to the ground and said, “I’m f***ing staying” before kissing the logo on his shirt.
According to Fabrizio Romano, the player has agreed to a new contract on Tyneside that will keep him at the club until the summer of 2028. The agreement apparently includes a release clause in excess of £100 million, which may pique the interest of long-term fans Liverpool as well as a slew of great European teams.
Guimaraes started alongside Sean Longstaff and Elliot Anderson, both of whom shone in the central areas, as part of a midfield that flourished at the weekend. Later, marquee signing Sandro Tonali was brought in.
Marquee signing Sandro Tonali was brought on later in the game, while fans can also look forward to the return of Joelinton and Joe Willock.
Despite this strength in depth, Eddie Howe reportedly still sees midfield as an area that he could strengthen and there are reports of further additions in the winter window.
One name on Newcastle’s radar is Juventus midfielder Adrien Rabiot, according to Italian outlet Calciomercato.it. The 2022 World Cup finalist has been a long-term target for both Newcastle and Manchester United, who were heavily linked with a move for the player in last summer’s window.
Rabiot was a five-time Ligue 1 champion with PSG and has been a first-team regular at Juventus since his arrival in 2019.
Rabiot brings a plethora of experience and has represented France on 39 occasions. He is known for his flexibility and can play in a variety of midfield spots.
