Arsenal Secure Bruno Guimarães Signing for £70m
Arsenal have reached an agreement to sign Bruno Guimarães for £70m plus £10m in add-ons. The midfielder is set to sign his contract in London this weekend.

The 24-year-old Brazilian has impressed in his time at Newcastle United, and his arrival will likely see him compete with the likes of Granit Xhaka and Thomas Partey for a starting spot.
