Premier League champions Arsenal have agreed a deal worth £75 million ($99.5 million) to sign Newcastle United captain Bruno Guimaraes, British media reported on Wednesday. Guimaraes had previously told Newcastle that he wanted to join Arsenal if a suitable offer arrived, reports said. The midfielder joined Newcastle from French side Olympique Lyonnais in January 2022 and had become one of the club’s most influential players. He has made 195 appearances in all competitions, scoring 31 goals, and helped Newcastle end a long wait for domestic silverware by captaining them to League Cup success in 2025. Guimaraes would add further quality and experience to Mikel Arteta’s midfield as Arsenal look to defend the Premier League title and challenge in Europe.
