Tino Livramento has been quizzed about his Newcastle United teammates.
The 21-year-old has been at St James’ Park for a year now, with Newcastle United signing Tino Livramento from Southampton for £32million.

It made him one of Newcastle’s most expensive signings ever, with Livramento brought in with a view towards the future. He arrived to be Kieran Trippier’s long-term replacement, but ended up making an immediate impression on Tyneside.
He played more than expected in his first season, and was outstanding at right-back and left-back. The youngster is very much a fan favourite, and Livramento has vowed that there is more to come.
Livramento is very settled at Newcastle United, and has been tasked with describing some of his teammates using just one word for the Magpies’ social media channels.
There were some interesting responses, with Lewis Hall on the receiving end of some banter from a player who came through the Chelsea academy just like he did.
When asked to describe Hall in one word, Livramento began to laugh before saying: “Idiot.”
Livramento praises his other Newcastle United teammates
While Livramento took the chance to mock Hall, he was much kinder to the rest of his teammates.
He described Harvey Barnes as a ‘finisher’, and that is very accurate after seeing the 26-year-old score in Newcastle’s behind closed doors win over SpVgg Unterhaching in Germany. Barnes looks set for a breakthrough year at Newcastle, having started pre-season in fine form.
Livramento was also asked about Joelinton, who he called a ‘beast’, while he described Bruno Guimaraes as a ‘conductor’. That is exactly what Bruno is, with the Brazilian pulling the strings and dictating the game in the middle of the park.
The speedy Anthony Gordon was called ‘rapid’, while Sandro Tonali was labelled as a ‘machine’ by Livramento.
He has also been a role model for Livramento, with the apprentice learning from the master over the past 12 months.
Now it is time for Livramento to graduate, with the former Southampton man set to be Newcastle United’s starting right-back.
That is because Trippier is on course to leave Newcastle this summer, as he enters the final year of his Toon contract. Trippier is attracting interest from Saudi Arabia, and is yet to return to training after representing England at Euro 2024.
