Arsenal Are Big Admirers Of This Newcastle United Midfielder: Should Arteta Get Him On Board? In a recent segment on Youtube , renowned journalist Fabrizio Romano claimed that Arsenal are big admirers of Newcastle United midfielder Bruno Guimaraes. Romano said, “Obviously, Newcastle sold Sandro Tonali, Newcastle sold Anthony Gordon, so now Newcastle don’t have any intention to let Bruno Guimarães go. At the same time, Arsenal had been rejected, £55m. “Mikel Arteta is a big fan of the player, so what I can tell you, in addition to all of this, is that he really, really likes the player. Mikel Arteta was driving this interest for Bruno Guimaraes internally.” Guimaraes’ Impressive Form In English Football Guimaraes enjoyed a good run of form at the Tyneside club in the previous campaign when he put in a string of impressive displays for them in the middle of the park. The Brazilian sensation scored nine goals and earned eight assists in 41 matches for Newcastle last season across all competitions. The 28-year-old is currently among the best central midfielders in the Premier League. Hence, it is no wonder that the Gunners are trying to get a deal done for him this off-season. His current deal at St. James’ Park will run out in the summer of 2028, which could make it tough for Arsenal to land him on the cheap later this year.

Guimaraes is a tough-tackling midfielder who can time his challenges well to secure possession back for his team inside his half. He doesn’t mind putting his foot through the ball when required and is a good passer as well from midfield. The Brazilian sensation can even contribute by scoring and creating his fair share of goals from midfield. Guimaraes is primarily a box-to-box midfielder but can also operate as a defensive midfielder if told to do so. He has already proven his worth in the Premier League and won’t take much time to adjust to life at the North London club. We can expect Guimaraes to inject more quality into Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta’s midfield. He is good enough to challenge for regular first-team football at the Emirates Stadium. At 28, Guimaraes is playing in his prime, which makes him a decent fit for Arteta’s needs this summer. Therefore, Arsenal would be wise to get him on board later this year.
