Newcastle captain, Bruno Guimaraes
Newcastle United head coach Eddie Howe has reiterated the club’s desire to keep captain Bruno Guimarães amid growing speculation linking the Brazil midfielder with a move to Arsenal.
Reports this week claimed Arsenal are preparing a £70 million bid for the 28-year-old, but Newcastle remain determined to hold on to one of their key players.
Speaking after Newcastle’s 1-1 pre-season draw with Gateshead on Saturday, Howe revealed he has held several positive conversations with Guimarães but admitted he could not guarantee what the future holds.
As reported by BBC Sport on Saturday, Howe was quoted as saying, “You’ve got to look at it in its own right,” he said.
