Bruno Guimaraes has been granted permission to travel to Arsenal to finalise his £75m transfer from Newcastle United. The 28-year-old midfielder is set to undergo a medical with the Premier League champions in the coming days, following an agreement on the fee between both clubs.
An official announcement of Guimaraes' signing is anticipated shortly. This deal is seen as a crucial piece of business for Mikel Arteta's side as they prepare to defend their Premier League title.
Meanwhile, Newcastle United will see another key player depart, following the earlier exits of Anthony Gordon and Sandro Tonali this summer. Arsenal is also continuing its pursuit of Vinicius Jr, though the Gunners reportedly believe he is increasingly likely to remain at Real Madrid.
