Arsenal midfield faces transfer speculation following Guimarães signing

Arsenal is navigating significant midfield changes following the £75 million signing of Bruno Guimarães from Newcastle United. This arrival has increased competition for established players and sparked various transfer rumors.

There is conflicting speculation regarding the future of academy graduate Myles Lewis-Skelly. While some reports suggested Arsenal might offer the 19-year-old to Manchester United and Chelsea to balance finances, other outlets, including The Athletic and Daily Mail, have denied that any such offer was made and stated the club has no desire to sell him.

Additionally, Real Madrid has reportedly revived interest in Martin Zubimendi. The Spanish international, who played a role in Arsenal’s recent title success, is viewed by Jose Mourinho as a potential target to strengthen Madrid’s midfield. While Arsenal is not actively seeking to sell Zubimendi, reports suggest the club might consider an exceptional proposal, especially as Guimarães has increased depth in the central midfield position.
