Guimaraes is very confident in possession and can keep the game flowing just by circulating the ball. He is also very skilled in his interceptions and, in many ways, anyone who watches him play will be reminded of Barcelona legend Sergio Busquets.
The Brazilian midfielder has played 11 times for the Magpies this season in all competitions, scoring two goals and providing two assists. Although he moved to England before the last, he is already linked with a much bigger movement.
Chelsea are said to be interested in securing the Brazilian midfielder as they look for a long-term replacement for Jorginho. Guimares is a perfect fit and can easily take over from the Italian playmaker in the long run.

However, the Blues have their work cut out for them with Spanish giants Barcelona also interested in the player. The Catalan club are looking for a long-term replacement for their captain Busquets and could not get a more suitable player than Guimares.
Xavi’s men are likely to try to sign Guimares if they really decide he is their replacement for the midfield role and the Blues will have to do their best to try and convince Newcastle to come to the Bridge.
