Newcastle United are determined to strengthen their squad sufficiently during the January transfer window and they are closing in on a deal to sign the Lyon midfielder Bruno Guimaraes.
According to a report from Daily Mail, the Premier League side have submitted an offer of around £30 million for the defensive midfielder and they are looking to complete the transfer before the window closes.
The French outfit are going through a financial crisis right now and they are likely to accept the offer for the 24-year-old Brazilian international.
The player has been heavily linked with the likes of Arsenal and Juventus in the past as well and it remains to be seen whether the magpies can fend off the competition and secure the 24-year-old’s services this month.
