Newcastle attacker Bruno Guimaraes says he'd love to see former Lyon teammate Lucas Paqueta join him on Tyneside.

Bruno was also asked about his comments to the club programme recently. In the Crystal Palace issue of the official United publication, the Brazil star said he would sign best pal and Lyon ace Paqueta if he could choose any transfer target.

He told ESPN: "It would be my dream.

"Paquetá is my best friend, we made a relationship, not only on the field, but we lived together all the time outside. Our wives together too. It was a brotherly relationship, we still talk every day.

"It would be really cool if he could come here, but I can't do this job."
