Bruno Guimaraes is Newcastle United new team captain and is now certain to remain at the club
He wore the armband in a competitive fixture for the first time versus Southampton on Saturday with captain Jamaal Lascelles injured and vice-captain Kieran Trippier on the bench.
Trippier has led the team during majority of matches since arriving from Atletico Madrid in January 2022 but that will now be the duty of Guimaraes.
Meanwhile Guimaraes is admired by Manchester City but sources are confident he will still be at St James Park beyond next Friday transfer deadline.
Eddie Howe believes the Guimaraes will thrive with the extra responsibility and is thought to have wanted clarity around the situation of who captains the team on a permanent basis.
