Bruno Guimaraes has asked to leave Newcastle United, and Arsenal is accelerating its interest in the Brazilian midfielder. The Premier League champions have been monitoring Guimaraes, and a fee of around £60 million has been discussed with his representatives. Arsenal is now poised to make a fresh offer, though Newcastle has not yet received direct contact from the club. Newcastle is reluctant to lose their captain and talisman, especially after already selling Sandro Tonali and Anthony Gordon this summer. Arsenal is only looking to sign one leading central midfielder, with Bournemouth's Alex Scott and Lille's Ayyoub Bouaddi also under consideration. The arrival of a new midfielder would likely lead to the sale of a current player, such as Christian Norgaard, and could affect Martin Zubimendi's role in the starting XI.
