There are a number of valuable commodities you could trade your shirt for if you were playing against Aston Villa. How about, for example, the kit of World Cup-winning goalkeeper Emi Martinez?
Well, Newcastle’s Bruno Guimaraes had a more indulgent idea after his team beat Villa 3-1 on Tuesday night, when he decided to swap his shirts with a fan for none other than Kinder Buenos.
The midfielder approached the supporter to negotiate the swap deal before smuggling his prizes through the tunnel, leaving him to enter the dressing room two Kinder Bueno packs richer than his teammates.
As he walked in, Guimaraes looked through the camera and shouted “yesss!”, clearly jubilant with his newly acquired treats.
“Bruno Guimarães swapping his shirt for a pack of Kinder Buenos is the best deal of the transfer window so far,” wrote a user on x, formerly Twitter.

“Probably the only deal we’re going to make!” one fan commented.
“A new official ‘chocolate partner’ is on the way,” another joked.
‘Bruno is happier with the friendlier bars than with the victory. I love this man,” said another.
“I really love this haha,” said one.
The midfielder has previously admitted to having a special affinity with chocolate.
In an episode of We Are Newcastle United on Amazon Prime, the 26-year-old revealed he was on a diet and indulged his sweet tooth.
He said: ‘I don’t like to drink, but I have a problem with sweet things.
“Chocolate is my weak point.”
His wife Ana revealed that Kinder Eggs are a favorite of his.
“Oh my God,” he purred. “It’s better not to talk about chocolate anymore!”
He may be in line for a few more Kinder luxuries, provided Newcastle can maintain the form that saw them beat Villa.
Fabian Schar scored two goals in the first half from corner kicks and Newcastle took a 3-0 lead in the second half after an own goal from Alex Moreno.
Ollie Watkins got one back for the hosts after 71 minutes, but it was not enough to prevent Newcastle inflicting a first home defeat in almost a year.
Guimaraes scored well in Mail Sport’s player ratings as he took home an 8 after controlling midfield in the second half.
However, Schar took home Mail Sport’s coveted Man of the Match gong, scoring an 8.5 after scoring two crucial goals inside the box with predatory instincts.
It was Newcastle’s first win in five league games after a dreadful run that saw them slip away from realistic Champions League contention.

European football is still in the grip of Eddie Howe’s men, who sit seventh in the Premier League, and he will be hoping they can go further after an impressive win over Villa.
Although they appear to have made it through the January transfer window, Guimaraes could be a casualty if Newcastle need to sell a star in the summer.
Mail Sport have reported that Newcastle are looking for offers in the region of £100 million, their release clause.
They would consider selling him to Barcelona or Real Madrid for less than his release clause, but the likes of Liverpool, Chelsea or Paris Saint-Germain would have to comply.
