Bruno Guimarães is on the verge of leaving Newcastle United for Arsenal, with reports indicating he has already undergone a medical at the North London club ahead of a £75 million transfer.

The Brazilian midfielder said his goodbyes to Newcastle United teammates at the club's pre-season training camp on Wednesday before boarding a flight to North London, signalling that the deal is all but complete.

What the signing means for Arsenal

The arrival of Guimarães would significantly strengthen Arsenal's midfield options, easing the squad's reliance on a narrow group of players in the centre of the pitch.

Having already established himself in the Premier League with Newcastle United, Guimarães would need little time to adjust to life at the Emirates Stadium. Arsenal could expect him to hit the ground running from the very first week of the new season.

His blend of defensive solidity, passing range, and technical quality makes him one of the most complete midfielders in England — a profile that fits precisely the kind of profile Arsenal have sought to add as they push for major honours.
