Newcastle captain, Bruno Guimaraes
Arsenal are preparing a £70m offer for Newcastle United captain Bruno Guimaraes as they look to strengthen their midfield ahead of the new season.
The Brazil international is a priority target for the Premier League champions, who are keen to add more quality and experience to their squad following their title success last season.
As reported by BBC Sport on Thursday, Guimaraes is believed to be open to a move to Arsenal, with Newcastle aware of the midfielder’s preference to join the north London club this summer.
Talks over a possible transfer have intensified in recent days, although it remains unclear whether Arsenal’s proposed £70m bid will be enough to convince Newcastle to part ways with their captain.
