Arsenal preparing £70m offer for Newcastle captain Bruno Guimaraes

Arsenal are preparing a £70m offer for Newcastle captain Bruno Guimaraes, BBC Sport reports. The 28-year-old Brazil midfielder asked to leave Newcastle on 15 July and is keen on the move. Talks have accelerated. Arsenal enforce a strict maximum valuation — they walked away from Morgan Rogers rather than match Chelsea's £117m — so whether Newcastle accept may decide the deal.
