Newcastle United want more South American signings and hope that the influence of Bruno Guimaraes can help them carry out that plan.
The Magpies are no strangers to South American talent.
Nobby Solano and Faustino Asprilla became cult heroes at Newcastle with Jonas Gutierrez and Fabrizio Coloccini probably not too far off.
The likes of Joelinton, Bruno Guimaraes and Miguel Almiron are now joining those players, though the less said about Daniel Cordone, Clarence Acuna and Christian Bassedas, the better.
Newcastle United want more South American signings
iNews now report that Newcastle are hoping to use the impact and influence of Bruno Guimaraes to make themselves a major player in the South American market.
Vasco da Gama midfielder Andrey Santos and Santos wonderkid Angelo Gabriel are just two players Newcastle want to add.
Yet Newcastle want this to be a major part of their recruitment strategy for years to come.
The hope is that Brazilian talents will see how loved and adored Bruno Guimaraes is at Newcastle and then want to join him and make themselves into stars.
The money on offer at Newcastle will probably help them too and Magpies fans must be excited about this strategy.
It’s not all that long ago that Newcastle couldn’t or wouldn’t pay a loan fee to sign Hamza Choudhury form Leicester City under Mike Ashley.
Now Newcastle are hatching plans to sign Brazilian wonderkids like they’re every giddy Football Manager player.
Dan Ashworth is key here as well though.
Brighton and Hove Albion recruited well from South America during Ashworth’s time as their technical director.
Alexis Mac Allister, Moises Caicedo, Jeremy Sarmiento and Julio Enciso have all arrived from South America with Ashworth seemingly setting up a strong network for the Seagulls to operate there.
Ashworth is now at Newcastle and with a Brazilian poster boy starring in Bruno, the Magpies are looking to benefit in the coming years.
