JUST IN: Arsenal agree £75m deal for Newcastle captain Guimarães – Reports

Arsenal have reached a £75 million agreement with Newcastle United to sign captain Bruno Guimarães, according to recent reports. The Brazilian midfielder, who has been with Newcastle since 2022 after joining from Lyon, has been permitted to undergo a medical as the Gunners close in on finalizing the transfer. Sky Sports confirmed the deal, stating that Guimarães has permission to travel for the medical.

He has played a crucial role at Newcastle, helping the team secure European football and remain competitive in the Premier League. Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has focused on bolstering the midfield, as the club prepares for another title run. Guimarães' exceptional ability to control games, win possession, and contribute to attacks has made him one of the most desirable midfielders in English football.

The proposed transfer would be a significant coup for both clubs, with Newcastle receiving a substantial fee for a player who has become central to their recent success. The deal is expected to be completed following the medical and the signing of personal terms.
