Arsenal Confident £70m Bid Will Secure Bruno Guimaraes from Newcastle

Arsenal are preparing a third bid in excess of £70 million for Newcastle United midfielder Bruno Guimaraes, according to insider Ben Jacobs. The Gunners have already had offers of £55m and £65m rejected but remain convinced a higher bid will succeed. Personal terms are reportedly already in place with the 28-year-old Brazilian, who is Arsenal's top central midfield target. Newcastle have already sold Sandro Tonali this summer and insist they want to keep Guimaraes, but financial pressures may force another sale. One other unnamed Premier League club has also made an enquiry. The transfer saga is ongoing as Arsenal look to strengthen their squad to defend the Premier League title.
