Newcastle United's new signing Bruno Guimaraes gets into the Geordie spirit on Quayside walk

Newcastle's new signing Bruno Guimaraes has been getting into the Geordie spirit today, as he posted a snap of him braving a walk along the Quayside without a coat.

He and his girlfriend Ana Lídia Martins were all smiles as they posed on the Millenium Bridge, despite the bitterly low temperatures outside.

In his Instagram post, where the Brazilian footballer is seen in just a jumper, he joked about acclimatising to the winter weather in the North East.

NUFC signed the midfielder from Lyon for £40m.

Newcastle agreed a package of £33.3m plus around £6.5m in add-ons with the French club to make the midfielder their third signing this January, following the arrivals of Kieran Trippier and Chris Wood.

Arsenal and Juventus were both said to be interested him but it was Newcastle who shocked the footballing world to get his signature.

Guimaraes will wear the 39 shirt at Newcastle - the number of his father's taxi, which he drives in Brazil.

He becomes the first Brazilan international to sign for Newcastle since Mirandinha in 1988.
