Arsenal have reached an agreement with Newcastle United to sign captain Bruno Guimaraes in a deal worth £75 million, with the Brazilian midfielder now set to undergo a medical, according to Sky Sports.

The Premier League champions saw an initial offer rejected, but negotiations have now resulted in an agreement that paves the way for the 28-year-old to complete his move to the Emirates.

Guimaraes, who joined Newcastle from Lyon in 2022 for £40 million, had informed the club earlier this summer that he wanted to join Arsenal if an acceptable offer was received.

The Brazil international leaves St James’ Park after making 195 appearances and scoring 31 goals. He still had two years remaining on his contract, with Newcastle also holding an option to extend the deal by another year.
