And, as you can see below, Arsenal forward Gabriel Martinelli was impressed with the £120,000-a-week (Spotrac) Newcastle star.

Martinelli plays with Bruno for the Brazil national football team.

Real Madrid forward Vinicius Junior has also praised his Brazil international teammate and Newcastle star Bruno.

Against Brentford, Bruno took one shot and it was on target, played one key pass, had a pass accuracy of 86.2%, won one header, took 75 touches, attempted two dribbles, and put in one cross.

Newcastle have not been at their best this season, and even against Brentford, Eddie Howe’s side were not particularly great.

However, the Magpies got the job done.

Bruno is one of the best players for Newcastle, and the midfielder will be hugely important for the Magpies in the coming weeks and months.

The Brazil international midfielder has made 54 appearances in the Premier League so far in his career.

Bruno has scored nine goals and given six assists in those games.
