# Arsenal sign Bruno Guimaraes for £75m from Newcastle 2026-08-10T04:55:18+00:00 | Sports | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 2 independent outlets Arsenal have signed Brazil midfielder Bruno Guimaraes from Newcastle United for a fee reported to be £75 million. Manager Mikel Arteta said the 28-year-old can “ignite something different” in the Premier League champions' squad. Guimaraes was introduced to fans before Arsenal’s pre-season friendly, though the two match reports disagree on details. Sportstar reports he was presented before a 3-2 defeat to Borussia Dortmund on Sunday and did not play. NDTV Sports, however, says he made his debut in a 1-1 draw against Como on Wednesday, calling it the final pre-season friendly. Arteta praised Guimaraes as “a warrior with tremendous quality, intuition, leadership and charisma”. Arsenal ended a 22-year wait for the league title last season and also reached the Champions League and League Cup finals. They face Manchester City in the Community Shield next weekend before opening their title defence against newly-promoted Coventry on August 21. ## Coverage - sportstar.thehindu.com - sports.ndtv.com Tags: Arsenal, Bruno Guimaraes, Football transfers, Mikel Arteta, Premier League Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/arteta-bruno-guimaraes-will-ignite-something-different-at-arsenal/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
