Guimaraes denies Newcastle exit rumours

Brazil midfielder Bruno Guimaraes has been linked with a move to Paris Saint-Germain and Sweden striker Alexander Isak is reportedly a target for Arsenal and Tottenham.

However, the Brazilian has decided to break his silence to deny the rumours of his departure from St James' Park, as well as affirming that he is very focused on next campaign as well as on the orders of his coach Eddie Howe.

"I am always here. I never said that I would like to leave. I didn't know anything about it. My focus was always Newcastle. I'm very happy. The gaffer has given me a big responsibility to be in the leadership group. I want to be a leader. I want to help the club in many ways," he told reporters.

"Since I've been here, I've developed my game a lot. I'm grateful to him and his staff. Now I think it's time to deliver something special. Nothing has changed for me. I still want to win some trophies," Guimaraes added.
