A social media exchange between January addition Bruno Guimaraes and club legend Alan Shearer will no doubt bring a smile to the collective faces of Newcastle United fans across the globe on Monday evening.
The back-and-forth in question comes after Brazilian international Guimaraes, the most high-profile of five winter additions to Eddie Howe’s squad, took to his official Twitter account a short time ago.
The gifted midfielder unveiled a photo of himself holding up a ‘Bruno G’ jersey at St. James’ Park, accompanied by the caption:
”New home. New challenge! Come on”:
New home. New challenge! Come on @NUFC ⚫️⚪️💪🏽 pic.twitter.com/P58P4zPLbQ

Magpies icon Shearer, in turn, reposted the image, with his own celebratory caption of ‘Bruuuuunnnooooooo’:

And the big-money addition to Newcastle’s ranks in the middle of the park was evidently appreciative of the Premier League’s all-time leading goalscorer reaching out, confirming as much in stating:
”Thank you boss”:
Thank you boss 🖤🤍

Toffees test
Turning attentions back towards the pitch, those of a Newcastle persuasion will no doubt be hopeful of seeing Guimaraes take to the pitch in the club’s colours for the first time in just 24 hours’ time.
This comes with the newly-minted Geordie powerhouse set to welcome Frank Lampard’s Everton to St. James’ Park, for a crunch Premier League showdown.
Despite their hefty January outlay, as things stand, Newcastle remain firmly entrenched in the English top-flight’s relegation zone, sitting in 19th with just 15 points to their name.
A victory over Everton tomorrow night, however, would see Eddie Howe’s men climb clear of both Watford and Norwich City, to within a solitary point of their upcoming opponents.
