Brazilian midfielder Bruno Guimaraes will not stay at Newcastle United for many more years.

That is the view of former Manchester United and Fulham forward Louis Saha.

The ex-France striker believes that Guimaraes would be tempted by a move to a top club, such as Real Madrid, Barcelona or Paris Saint-Germain.

“I used to follow Bruno Guimarães when he was in France," Saha told Paddy Power.

"I can understand why a lot of teams, not only in the Premier League, are looking at him. He is a player with energy, aggressiveness and very strong.

“I love his attitude and skills; he gets himself in really good spots. He is consistent – he knows how to gel the team together and has been vital in helping other players to understand their role in the team.

“I don't think that he will stay at Newcastle for too long because a lot of teams will look at ways, they can get him in their squad.

“Every team needs a central midfielder of his type – he's a number 10, number 8 and number 6, I don't know how he does it."
