‘It’s not enough’ - Bruno Guimaraes sends defiant Newcastle United message

Bruno Guimaraes has insisted he wants to win more silverware at Newcastle United after sampling Carabao Cup success last season.

Under a cloud of uncertainty given Alexander Isak’s bombshell transfer saga, the Brazilian fronted up to the media alongside Eddie Howe in Singapore. Newcastle are set to face Arsenal tomorrow but that game has played second fiddle to speculation surrounding the Swede.

Liverpool are keeping close tabs on the situation having made an enquiry a fortnight ago. Isak remains on Tyneside, with the official club line that he is nursing a thigh injury.

Howe has been keen to weather the storm when facing the press in the Far East. As for Guimaraes, he also toed the party line by referencing Isak’s injury yesterday.

Speaking to reporters, Guimaraes has outlined Newcastle’s ambition to kick on following an insane 2024-25 campaign. He said: “We had the best season in the club’s history last season. So now the challenge is to keep it going, don’t stop. It was that good last season but for me it’s not enough. I want more. I want to keep winning.

“Like I’ve said, if I wanted it easy, I could go back to Brazil and chill. This is not what I’m looking for now. I want to keep improving, keep winning and keep making history for this club. We are in a great position.”

Guimaraes also “I think he’s training brilliantly. He’s really surprised me. He’s a very good guy and very focused. I think he’s that fast - he’s very very fast and training very well. I’m excited to play next to him (next season).”

Anthony Elanga talks Newcastle United

Elanga is aiming to throw himself into Newcastle life after making the £55million switch from Nottingham Forest. He said after signing: "I'm excited, I'm really happy but most importantly I'm ready. I'm ready to put on this black and white top to really fight for this team and give everything for the passionate fanbase that lives and breathes football.

"I had an amazing two years at Nottingham Forest, they really helped me to become the player I am today, but I'm really happy to be here now. The club won a trophy last season and are building something unique, something special that I really want to be part of. I really want to buy into the culture, into the DNA of this club. I'm really happy to be here and I can't wait to get started."
