The latest Newcastle United player of the month has been announced.
Bruno Guimaraes has been named Newcastle United’s Player of the Month for April. The Brazilian stood out throughout the month, scoring two goals, including the winning goal against Fulham at Craven Cottage, which helped him secure another personal achievement. During the award ceremony, the 26-year-old expressed his delight, saying, “I have been missing these – it’s my first one this season. It’s a good moment. I think I’ve been playing well, so this one is very special for me.”
Guimaraes ended April with a goal in the 5-1 victory against Sheffield United at St. James’ Park. He acknowledged that his performance against the Blades was spurred by a Wor Flags display dedicated to the Magpies’ fan favourites from South America. “It was very positive to see the Brazil flag for me and Joe (Joelinton) before the game,” he said. “I made an effort to not cry on the pitch because it was beautiful. I want to thank the fans as they have been unbelievable with me. The fans have given me so much – I’ve never felt so loved. I went into the game thinking, ‘I have to score a goal for them today’. It was an important goal so I’m very happy.”
Guimarães also emphasized his determination to repay supporters throughout the final stage of the campaign. He added, “As I’ve said before, we have to finish top six. That’s all we’ve been thinking about. We have four more games, so we have to play well. We’ll put the focus on the next game against Burnley. We’ll go there and try our best to get three points as it’s going to be very important for us.”
