Bruno Guimaraes said he wanted to “make history” at Arsenal after joining the Premier League champions from top-flight rivals Newcastle for a reported fee of £75 million ($101.2 million) on Saturday.
The Brazil midfielder spent four-and-a-half seasons with Newcastle and became captain of the Magpies.
Arsenal, who ended a 22-year wait for a top-flight English league title last season, did not disclose the exact length of Guimaraes’s “long-term” deal.
But British media reports said he had signed a four-year contract with a further one-year option.
“I feel good, I feel amazing. I’m glad for the opportunity,” Guimaraes told Arsenal’s media channels.
