Breaking News; Bruno Guimaraes is now Arsenal’s top target in the midfield, having “taken a slight lead.”

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 championship fight.

This season, Arsenal finished just two points behind City and came dangerously close to unseating the champions, unlike their dramatic 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 campaign 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.

According to reports, the Brazil international’s contract contains a £100 million release clause. Arsenal is one of the teams vying for his services.

The 26-year-old is rumored to be in talks with Paris Saint-Germain, Manchester United, and Manchester City, however he may stay in the Premier League if PSG withdraws from the competition.

Guimaraes’ release clause expires at the end of June, and Arsenal and other bidders have been alerted that failing to do so would mean he would stay at Newcastle for at least another season.
