The Colombian international has gone from strength to strength in the last calendar year. He was the joint top scorer at Copa America 2021 with four goals. This season, the left winger has scored 14 goals and registered five assists in the Portuguese league.
Newcastle United spent around EUR 100 million in January, paying about 40% of that to Lyon for the services of Bruno Guimaraes. Guimaraes spent two years in France, and was a regular started for Lyon since the start of last season.

The Brazilian midfielder had caught the eye of several clubs across Europe, including Premier League giants Arsenal. The fact that a relegation-threatened club managed to snap him up ahead of the Gunners shows that the Newcastle revolution is set to begin.
Lucas Digne has been among the Premier League’s best left-backs recently. A consistent performer for most of his Everton career, Digne flattered to deceive this campaign. A move was imminent, and the Merseyside club couldn’t help but accept Aston Villa’s EUR 30 million bid for the player.

Digne was a breath of fresh air when he arrived at Goodison Park. The left-back’s fine attacking displays helped him bag six goals and 20 assists in 127 appearances. He has already recorded his first Aston Villa assist during their trip to Everton.
