Bruno Guimaraes will join Arsenal in the summer, according to Jamie O’Hara on talkSPORT.
The Gunners plan to bolster their midfield this summer. Arteta is believed to be looking for another midfielder to join his squad and play alongside Declan Rice and Martin Odegaard.
With a number of great midfielders linked with a move to the Emirates Stadium, it’s been difficult to predict who will come. However, Jamie O’Hara believes Guimaraes might be the midfielder that Arsenal are aiming for.
While discussing Newcastle’s FFP concerns, which may force the club to sell players, O’Hara reiterated the possibility that the Magpies will have to part ways with either Alexander Isak or Bruno Guimaraes. He claims that Guimaraes was set to transfer to the Emirates Stadium. He said on talksport, “We will give you £60 million for him (Isak). We will take him off your hands. Bruno will go to Arsenal as well. Just letting you know. You have to regroup next season. You will stay up.”
Guimaraes is a player Arsenal is quite familiar with; they were interested in signing him in the months running up to 2022, but Newcastle beat them to the deal. They must have been closely monitoring him, as the Sun suggests they’re ready to challenge Manchester United for his services. PSG and Real Madrid are also interested in his services.
The Brazilian has sparkled in the Premier League, and Newcastle fans would be disappointed if he left, but for the Gunners, getting him on board would be a transfer masterstroke.
The concern may be how much they pay for him, given that he has a reported £100 million release clause — do they have to spend that much?

ADMIN COMMENT
So here are some simple rules which I must insist commenters follow….
You agree not to give any personal abuse to other Arsenal fans. Everyone is allowed to hold their own opinions even if you disagree with them. It COSTS NOTHING TO BE POLITE TO OTHER ARSENAL FANS.
Never going to happen, Toon getting bigger and don’t need to sell there best players,
Plainly you DONT KNOW they have serious financial problems to comply with PSR and will definitely need to sell, probably two or even more of their most valuable players.
A post sent in ignorance of the facts, as yours has been, is worthless.
Guimaraes is the exact kind of player we need, a proper CM that can do a bit of everything. Play him with Rice and Ode and that’s a potent combination in the midfield
Agree, and he’s got an edge to him which wouldn’t hurt to have in this side. Sadly, I very much doubt we’re in for him but we’ll see
Guimares for sure but at what price? Non of the players mentioned would come cheap.
Too late. Pep already has his eye on him…
