Bruno Guimaraes set for Newcastle United talks at the end of the season - Report

In his latest piece for The Mail, Craig Hope has been discussing the brilliant Bruno Guimaraes following Saturday's stunning display at St James' Park.

He reports that Newcastle are expected to enter discussions over a new improved contract for the Brazilian midfielder 'next summer', believing superior terms will be offered to fend off inevitable interest.

Hope admits that Man City may pose the 'most realistic danger' to Newcastle, yet insists the club 'do not have to sell', also revealing that there is no release clause in the 24-year-old's contract.

The way he's settled in and become an instant fan favourite, you get the feeling Bruno Guimaraes is in no rush to leave, so talks over a new deal could go smoothly next summer given his commitment to the project, popularity in the dressing room and relationship with the fans.

He's not only an enthusiastic and infectious character with a rare mixture of passion, positivity and grit, but supremely talented footballer who can tackle, dribble, find a killer pass or fire home from 20 yards as he did on Saturday.

We sincerely hope Bruno remains on Tyneside for many years to come - and a new deal next summer would be the perfect step towards securing his future!
