Arsenal’s long-standing interest in Bruno Guimarães could finally materialise in the upcoming January transfer window. The Brazilian midfielder, who has been a standout performer for Newcastle United, has consistently been on the Gunners’ radar as they look to strengthen their squad. With the January window fast approaching, Arsenal may be ready to make their move.
According to Fichajes, Arsenal faces competition from Manchester City, who are also reportedly keen on the midfielder. City, dealing with midfield gaps since Rodri’s suspension and subsequent challenges, are actively seeking reinforcements, and Guimarães fits their criteria for a technically gifted, versatile player who can control games from the middle of the park.
Guimarães has been a key figure for Newcastle this season, contributing to their strong performances domestically and in Europe. Despite their financial concerns, Newcastle resisted selling him during the summer transfer window. However, January could present a different scenario, especially with interest from Premier League heavyweights and potential lucrative offers.
For Arsenal, securing Guimarães would not only enhance their midfield depth but also add a dynamic playmaker capable of dictating tempo and contributing defensively. With Arsenal trailing behind Liverpool in the Premier League standings, bolstering the squad in January is critical to maintaining their title challenge. Guimarães’ ability to link defence and attack seamlessly makes him a perfect fit for Mikel Arteta’s tactical system.
Similarly, Manchester City’s interest underscores how highly regarded the Brazilian is among top clubs. The battle for his signature could escalate quickly, driving up his valuation and making it imperative for Arsenal to act decisively. Adding Guimarães would represent a significant coup for Arsenal, enhancing their chances of competing at the highest level across all competitions.

If anything comes of this report and it’s a straight battle between Arsenal and City, then I don’t think Arsenal will win. In any case, surely Arsenal’s top priority is a striker (either in January or, more likely, in the summer window).
The old Arsenal daydreaming machine in overdrive once more.
Massive contract at Newcastle loves the club manager and fans and being Captain.
Where would Arsenal get the 120 million needed to buy him ?
Issac Hayden is available and probably on a par with Merinho ?
DREAM ON PART 2 First Isak now Brono please get a grip.
Don’t need him, he’s no game changer
