Bruno Guimaraes completes Arsenal medical, set for £75m move from Newcastle
Brazilian midfielder Bruno Guimaraes completed his medical examinations with Arsenal on August 6 ahead of a summer transfer from Newcastle United, as reported by credible sources. The 28-year-old defensive midfielder is set to join Premier League champions Arsenal after they agreed a £75m fee with Newcastle, signing a four-year contract with an option for a fifth year.
Guimaraes has already spoken with Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta, who expressed genuine delight at the player's imminent arrival. Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano confirmed the development via his X account, stating that Arteta had pursued Guimaraes for years and described the move as "exciting," with an official announcement expected imminently.
The signing substantially strengthens Arsenal's midfield options as they defend their Premier League title and compete in multiple competitions. Guimaraes brings proven Premier League experience from his time at Newcastle United and consistent international selection for Brazil, adding both quality and squad depth to a team aiming for domestic and European success.
