In a recent interview, former Premier League player Shaun Wright-Phillips shared his admiration for Newcastle midfielder Bruno Guimaraes. Speaking as a football pundit, Wright-Phillips described Guimaraes as an "unbelievable" player and believes he would be a perfect fit for top clubs like Arsenal or Manchester City.
Wright-Phillips, who previously played for Manchester City, praised Guimaraes' work ethic, saying he "works his socks off" on the field. The Brazilian midfielder joined Newcastle in January 2022 in a £40m deal from French club Lyon and has been shining under the management of Eddie Howe. With 32 international caps for Brazil, Wright-Phillips believes it may be time for Guimaraes to move on from Newcastle and join a team that can challenge for the Premier League title.
In particular, Wright-Phillips feels Guimaraes' style of play would suit Arsenal and Manchester City, as he is able to maintain possession and keep the ball moving in midfield. The 27-year-old is currently under contract with Newcastle until 2028, but it is thought that the club would demand a significant fee of around £60m to £80m for his transfer.
Interestingly, Guimaraes had a £100m release clause in his contract, but it expired in June, giving Newcastle the freedom to set their own price for the player. Despite the high potential cost, Wright-Phillips believes any team that signs Guimaraes will be delighted with his contribution on the field.
Guimaraes, who is also the captain of Newcastle, recently scored a goal in their 4-0 Premier League victory over Leicester City. Speaking after the match, the Brazilian expressed his happiness at finally finding the back of the net after trying for a long time. He also emphasized the importance of the upcoming Carabao Cup quarter-final against Brentford, saying the team needs to keep going and aim for success in the competition.
