So, it looks like the Bruno Guimaraes deal with Newcastle United is done, however, there has been no official statement coming from Arsenal. Let’s suppose that is happening, how could the Gunners opening day line-up look with Guimaraes, Christos Tzolis and maybe even Vini Junior added to Mikel Arteta’s line-up?…
Arsenal and Newcastle United have finally reached an agreement for the Gunners to sign Bruno Guimaraes. The two clubs agreed to a $101-million (USD) transfer fee. The fee will be paid upfront with no add-ons.
The Mirror is reporting Vini Junior and his representatives are set to meet with Real Madrid in a final head-to-head meeting to discuss the player’s contract and future with the Spanish giants. Arsenal is ready to pounce if the talks go south.
The Sun reports Tottenham Hotspur are interested in Monaco and USA striker Folarin Balogun.
Arsene Wenger commented on the proposal to sell the World Cup to third party sponsors, “The decision to withdraw the project was absolutely necessary and beyond question, because I firmly believe in an indepoendent FIFA that serves our game with commitment, transparency and integrity.”
