“It's all for these fans,” a visibly emotional Guimaraes told Sky Sports on the Wembley pitch. “They deserve everything. When I first came here I said I wanted to put my name in history.
"We can now say we are the champions again. This is one of the best days of my life.
“I don't have any words. It's the best day of my life. For them [the fans] it's like the World Cup. People have grown up and not seen us as champions. My first year as captain of this club and it's one of the best days. This is unbelievable.
“This is my second home. We are making history. Some day when I leave this club I want the fans to sing my name the way they do to Shearer. He text me before the game. I'm so emotional today.”
Despite becoming a Newcastle United hero, and the leader of a team that has lifted silverware this season, speculation linking Guimaraes with a move to Arsenal emerged almost as soon as John Brooks had blown the full-time whistle at Wembley.
Arsenal’s Bruno Guimaraes transfer links
Like his teammate Alexander Isak, Guimaraes’ name has long been linked with a move to the Emirates Stadium. Even before leaving France to join Eddie Howe’s side, Guimaraes was linked with a switch to the Gunners, but it was the Magpies that swooped for his signature.
