Arsenal poised to sign Newcastle midfielder Bruno Guimaraes in £90m deal

Former Manchester United striker Dwight Yorke said he is not convinced Bruno Guimaraes can take United to the next level, noting the Brazilian midfielder has not impressed him at the World Cup and that no formal bids have emerged from United or Arsenal. Guimaraes, who has expressed a desire to leave Newcastle United, is widely reported as the key target for Arsenal, with the London club preparing a £90 million offer that could satisfy Newcastle. Former scout Keith Wyness said Guimaraes is the "heartbeat" of Newcastle and that the writing is on the wall for a transfer, suggesting the deal is structurally possible if Arsenal meets the price. No official contract has been signed yet, and the situation remains under negotiation.
