Brazil boss Tite says Guimaraes or Paqueta can be Selecao's De Bruyne

Bruno Guimaraes and Lucas Paqueta could turn out to be Brazil's answer to Kevin De Bruyne, according to head coach Tite.

French club Lyon signed Bruno Guimaraes from Athletico Paranaense in January, while Paqueta has endured a mixed first year in Europe after leaving Flamengo to join Milan in Italy.

Following a strong start to life in France, Guimaraes received his first senior call-up to Brazil earlier this month, though the Selecao's World Cup qualifiers against Bolivia and Peru have been postponed due to the coronavirus outbreak.
