Arsenal have reportedly held exploratory talks with Bruno Guimaraes’ representatives as they consider a shock move for the Newcastle midfielder. The Premier League champions are weighing whether to submit a formal offer for the 28-year-old Brazil international.

Mikel Arteta wants another high-level midfield option after Arsenal’s title-winning season, but Newcastle are braced for a major fight to keep Guimaraes. Any deal would likely require a huge fee, given his status and leadership role.
