Newcastle United hope to finalise a new contract for Bruno Guimaraes by the end of the season, sources have confirmed to 90min.
The 25-year-old has been a revelation during his first year on Tyneside, becoming not only one of Newcastle's most important players but also one of the Premier League's leading central midfielders.
Guimaraes' arrival has coincided with a huge upturn in Newcastle's form. The Magpies have the best defensive record in the Premier League and are firmly in contention for a top four finish - which would lead to Champions League qualification - while they narrowly missed out on ending a 54-year trophy drought after losing 2-0 to Manchester United in the Carabao Cup final at Wembley.
