Don Hutchison has claimed on Twitter that he ‘can’t believe’ Tottenham or Arsenal aren’t trying to sign Newcastle bound, Bruno Guimaraes.
The former midfielder thinks Newcastle’s potential next signing is good enough for ‘anyone in the top four’ of the Premier League.
Just under 48 hours remain before the January transfer window slams shut, as both Spurs and Arsenal fans will have mixed feelings about the jobs their clubs are doing.
It wouldn’t be a surprise if they are underwhelmed, at this moment in time, because their supporters expected a lot more during this window.
The north London duo are yet to bring in any new faces, but there is still time left and it seems as though both of them will be very busy up until the deadline.
Before the winter transfer window opened, Newcastle were always going to be the main event, for obvious reasons, but slowly but surely, they are starting to do their business.
Ex-Spurs man, Kieran Trippier was the first man of the club’s new Saudi-led ownership, followed by Burnley’s, Chris Wood.
Guimaraes would be a very strong purchase for Eddie Howe and someone who would prove to be a real solid number eight for the relegation-threatened side.
Many questioned whether the Magpies would have the pull to lure Europe’s best talents in their direction, well, this possible Guimaraes capture is proving that they can.
Arsenal and Spurs, who are battling for Champions League places, will be wondering why their club isn’t showing that type of intent because they are in a very strong position in the Premier League.
And whilst some are already seething, they will have to cool down and wait until it’s all over before they can truly judge the work done during this month’s market.
