Bruno Guimaraes has ‘taken a slight lead’ as Arsenal’s number one midfield target

Arsenal’s top summer transfer target is Bruno Guimaraes, a midfielder for Newcastle United.

As Arsenal gets ready to attack Newcastle, Football London says that the Brazilian midfielder has “taken a slight lead” among the Gunners’ midfield targets.

For the second straight season, Mikel Arteta’s team finished second behind Manchester City in the Premier League title fight.

This season, Arsenal finished just two points behind City and came dangerously close to unseating the champions, unlike their shocking surrender in the 2022–2023 run-in.

Although Arteta and company would surely find it difficult to lose the championship on the last day, the Gunners have already started preparing for another title challenge the following term.

It is anticipated that Arsenal would bring in new players in every position, with a midfield player at the top of their priority list.

They have their sights set on Guimaraes of Newcastle, who may depart St. James’ Park this summer, as part of their grand plan to dominate the Premier League the following season.

Arsenal and other potential suitors have been warned that Guimaraes’ release clause must be triggered before the end of June or he would remain at Newcastle for at least another season.

Guimaraes has been a transformative signing for the Magpies since joining from Olympique Lyon in January 2022.

He has been a key figure in Eddie Howe’s squad, making 50 appearances across all competitions this season, chipping in with seven goals and ten assists.

Guimaraes’ signing would be a clear declaration of purpose for Arsenal, who are keen to bolster their roster this summer in preparation for a possible title assault next season.
