Newcastle United reportedly considering positional change for Bruno Guimaraes
The Brazilian midfielder could be moved into a more advanced role
The move would allow Guimaraes to have a greater impact on the attacking side of the game
Newcastle United are reportedly considering a positional change for Bruno Guimaraes, with the Brazilian midfielder potentially being moved into a more advanced role.
Guimaraes has been a key player for Newcastle since joining the club from Lyon in January 2022, and has impressed with his performances in central midfield.
However, The Athletic reports that Newcastle are considering moving Guimaraes into a more advanced role, with the Brazilian potentially being used as a number 10 or even as a striker.
The move would allow Guimaraes to have a greater impact on the attacking side of the game, and would also allow him to play in a more free role.
Guimaraes has shown that he is capable of playing in a more advanced role, having scored five goals and provided three assists in 14 Premier League appearances for Newcastle.
The Brazilian is also a good passer of the ball, and has the vision and creativity to create chances for his teammates.
If Newcastle do decide to move Guimaraes into a more advanced role, it could be a major boost to their attacking options.
The Magpies have struggled for goals this season, and Guimaraes' creativity and attacking instincts could help them to create more chances and score more goals.
