Newcastle United supporters finally got a huge marquee signing in the January transfer window, beating Champions League chasing Arsenal to the signature of Bruno Guimaraes.

Newcastle fans will be hoping they see their new man in action sooner rather than later, with a Premier League clash with Everton just around the corner.
Guimaraes’ latest Instagram post hints at a possible appearance on Tuesday, with a home reception on offer to the Brazilian.
