And AS claims Berta is ready to arrive in London with a bang by moving for superstar Newcastle midfielder Guimaraes.

The Brazil international, 27, has been a key player since joining Toon from Lyon for £40million over three years ago.

It’s reckoned Guimaraes is happy to stay put on Tyneside after penning a contract extension until 2028 just 18 months ago.

However, he is said to have an agreement with Newcastle to leave this summer for just £60m if they fail to qualify for the Champions League.

Five teams from England are set to play in Europe’s top competition next season.

And Toon are currently sixth in the table, level on points with fifth-place Man City.
