Arsenal has initiated discussions with the representatives of Newcastle's Bruno Guimaraes as the Premier League champions consider a move for the midfielder. The talks are aimed at gauging the market for the Brazil international as Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta seeks to strengthen his squad ahead of the upcoming title defense.
Sources indicate that Guimaraes is one of several midfield targets being monitored by Arsenal, who are evaluating whether to submit a formal offer. The 28-year-old player currently has two years remaining on his contract with Newcastle. While Guimaraes has not expressed a desire to leave his current club, there is an acknowledgment that his name is being discussed in transfer markets.
In addition to midfield reinforcements, Arsenal is also looking to bolster its attacking options. The club has reportedly expressed interest in Morgan Rogers, though Aston Villa is seeking a transfer fee exceeding £100 million for the England international.
