Arsenal midfielder Bruno Guimaraes has revealed the prime reason behind his departure from Newcastle United this summer. The Magpies were initially eyeing £80 million for the 28-year-old, but Arsenal secured an agreement for £75m without any future add-ons. Meanwhile, Guimaraes’ absence will leave a huge void in the heart of the Magpies’ midfield, given they have also sold Sandro Tonali this summer. Eddie Howe recently stepped down from his head coach role at Newcastle, which was a huge hint that Guimaraes was on the way out. Guimaraes has finally joined Arsenal, who were first fancied to sign him during his Lyon days.
