As rumours about Bruno Guimaraes’ future grow, Newcastle United have reportedly decided on one current Premier League player as a possible successor.
The Brazil international joined the Magpies in January 2022 for £40 million from Lyon, and he soon made a name for himself as a vital member of Eddie Howe’s team.
The gifted midfielder has been playing well lately as Howe’s team prepare to compete in Europe for the second straight season.
According to reports, Newcastle have decided that Morgan Gibbs-White would be the best midfield addition as they prepare for the possibility of Bruno Guimaraes’ possible departure from the club.

The former Wolves player caught Newcastle’s attention during the closing days of the January transfer window.
Gibbs-White has been in excellent form despite his team’s difficulties this season, with six goals and seven assists in 37 games across all competitions.
