Barnes, 28, has also had recurring injury problems and has missed 38 games in his three seasons at the club due to lengthy stays in the treatment room.<\/p>\n<p>On the contrary, Ryan is just getting started in his native Brazil, and a move to England could reveal even greater talent, with No. 77 Vasco having previously attracted the attention of Liverpool and Manchester United with his devastating displays at the Maracan\u00e3 Stadium.<\/p>\n<div class=\"table-container\">\n<table border=\"1\" cellpadding=\"1\" cellspacing=\"1\" style=\"\" align=\"center\" summary=\"\">\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th colspan=\"3\" scope=\"col\" style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p>Rayanne&#8217;s Vasco jersey number by position<\/p>\n<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<th style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p>position<\/p>\n<\/th>\n<th style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p>game<\/p>\n<\/th>\n<th style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p>Goal + Assist<\/p>\n<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p>R.M.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p>27<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p>8+1<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p>C.F.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p>twenty two<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p>9+0<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p>RW<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p>16<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p>3+0<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p>SS<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p>2<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p>0<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p>LW<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p>1<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p>0<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th colspan=\"3\" style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p>Source: Transfermarkt<\/p>\n<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table><\/div>\n<p>Described by Como scout Ben Mattinson as a &#8220;technical man&#8221;, Ryan is second to none in terms of his versatility as an attacker, with the 19-year-old confident of switching between right-wing and striker roles when required, and has seen nine of his 23 career goals for the Blackshirts come from a centre-forward role.<\/p>\n<p>The Premier League forward has only played five games in his career as a striker himself, and his preferred position on the pitch is undoubtedly on the left.<\/p>\n<p>    Howe has earned a reputation as a manager adept at getting the best out of the next generation, as seen with Lewis Miley recently becoming a first-team regular, and he is keen to acquire another young talent ready to explode for England.<\/p>\n<p>Barnes is a bold attacking star that Toon rely on at the moment, but a swap for Brazil on Tyneside could see him surpass the former England international in the future.<\/p>\n<div class=\"display-card  article article-card small  no-badge  active-content                      \" data-include-community-rating=\"false\" id=\"new-bruno-ederson-has-become-a-target-for-newcastle\" data-nosnippet=\"\">\n<picture><source media=\"(max-width: 480px)\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static0.footballfancastimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/bruno-guimaraes.jpg?q=49&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=140&amp;h=98&amp;dpr=2\" srcset=\"https:\/\/static0.footballfancastimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/bruno-guimaraes.jpg?q=49&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=140&amp;h=98&amp;dpr=2\"\/>\n        <\/picture>\n<p>                    <span data-field=\"label\" class=\"article-card-label\"><label>related<\/label><\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"w-display-card-content regular article-block\">\n<h5 class=\"display-card-title \"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Newcastle_target_Bruno_20_with_%E2%80%98out-of-this-world_34m_sensation\"><\/span>\n<p>\t\t\tNewcastle target Bruno 2.0 with &#8216;out-of-this-world&#8217; \u00a334m sensation<\/p>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h5>\n<p class=\"display-card-excerpt\">Newcastle United are reportedly interested in signing a star player who could become the next Bruno Guimar\u00e3es.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Newcastle United are yet to taste defeat in 2026, playing in both the FA Cup and Premier League.
