Premier League champions Arsenal have signed Bruno Guimaraes from Newcastle United for £75 million.
The midfielder signed a four-year deal with the option of a further 12 months.
Guimaraes left Newcastle’s training camp in La Manga in Spain earlier this week to finalise his move to Emirates Stadium following a breakthrough in talks.
Commenting on the transfer, Arsenal wrote in a statement:”We are delighted to announce that Brazil international Bruno Guimaraes has joined us from Newcastle United on a long-term contract.
“Bruno joins us having established himself as one of the most influential players in the Premier League.
“The 28-year-old began his professional career in his home country, making his senior debut for Sao Paulo-based side Audax in 2015, before joining Athletico Paranaense two years later.

“During his time with Athletico, Bruno established himself as one of Brazil’s brightest young midfielders, helping the club win four major trophies, before earning a move to French side Lyon in January 2020.
“Across two impressive seasons in Ligue 1, Bruno further enhanced his reputation as one of Europe’s outstanding midfield talents.
“Bruno joined Newcastle United in January 2022 and went on to make nearly 200 appearances during four-and-a-half seasons at St James’ Park. A commanding presence in midfield, he played a pivotal role in Newcastle’s Carabao Cup triumph in 2025 and helped the club secure qualification for the UEFA Champions League across two seasons.
“An established international, Bruno has made 48 appearances for Brazil and has represented his country on the biggest stages of the game. He was part of Brazil’s squad at the recent FIFA World Cup, and has also featured in the Copa America, and won a gold medal at the 2020 Olympic Games in Tokyo.
“Bruno will wear the number 39 shirt for the club and join up with his new team mates immediately.
“Everyone at Arsenal warmly welcomes Bruno and his family to the club.
The transfer is subject to the completion of regulatory processes.”
