Arsenal sign Bruno Guimaraes from Newcastle for £75m
- Arsenal signed midfielder Bruno Guimaraes from Newcastle on a four-year deal with a 12-month extension option for £75 million, with Guimaraes becoming Mikel Arteta's fourth summer signing.
- Work on the deal began during the 2026 World Cup when Arsenal learned Guimaraes wanted to leave Newcastle, and he reiterated his intent to new manager Matthias Jaissle during the club's pre-season camp in Spain.
- Arsenal sporting director Andrea Berta said Guimaraes brings "strong leadership" to the squad, while the midfielder describes his new team as "one of the best" midfields in Europe alongside Declan Rice.
- Declan Rice messaged his future teammate ahead of the move, saying: "Come here and please no more fights, now we're friends," despite their previous competitive encounters on the pitch.
- Christian Norgaard joined Everton this week after failing to meet expectations, as Guimaraes was brought in to lift the squad's floor and raise its ceiling under Arteta.
