Bruno Guimaraes has informed Newcastle he wants to join Arsenal, though Arsenal have not contacted Newcastle directly and any potential deal has only been explored through intermediaries. Newcastle insist their captain is not for sale as they look to avoid further departures following the exits of key players such as Alexander Isak, Anthony Gordon and Sandro Tonali. Guimaraes remains central to the club’s plans, and manager Eddie Howe hopes to prevent a repeat of last summer’s transfer unrest as the team seeks stability after a disappointing domestic season.
