BBC Sport also reports that Arsenal’s interest in the midfielder is driven by the fact that he is a key player, with the club believing he could help them improve their midfield. Newcastle are said to be willing to negotiate, but they want a fee that reflects the player’s value.

Independent adds that Arsenal have made a bid for Guimarães, but the player’s current club is still seeking a higher fee. Independent also writes that the two clubs remain in talks and that a deal could be reached soon.

According to BBC Sport, Guimarães has agreed personal terms with Arsenal and is waiting for the two clubs to agree on a transfer fee.
