Fabrizio Romano: Arsenal preparing new Bruno Guimaraes offer
According to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, Arsenal are preparing a new official bid for Bruno Guimaraes.
Mikel Arteta is driving this interest internally and desperately wants him at the Emirates Stadium.

The journalist also revealed that Guimaraes informed Newcastle’s hierarchy last week of his desire to move to the Emirates Stadium. However, the Brazil international has no intention of forcing an exit and has chosen to leave the final decision in the hands of both clubs.
