Arsenal have made another huge statement in the transfer market after officially unveiling Brazilian midfield star Bruno Guimarães, completing a blockbuster move from Premier League rivals Newcastle United.

The Gunners confirmed the arrival of the Brazil international on August 8, 2026, with Guimarães joining the club on a long-term contract as Arsenal strengthen their squad ahead of another demanding campaign.

Reports value the transfer at approximately £75 million, with the midfielder signing a four-year contract that includes an option for an additional season.

Guimarães arrives in North London with enormous Premier League experience after spending more than four years at Newcastle. He developed into one of the Magpies’ most influential players and played a major role in their 2025 Carabao Cup triumph.

Now, the Brazilian is ready for a new chapter — and his ambitions could hardly be clearer.

In his first interview after becoming a Gunner, Guimarães said he wants to compete for trophies, make history at Arsenal and bring his trademark fighting spirit to the team. The midfielder described himself as a player who can pass, cover large areas of the pitch and battle until the final whistle.

His arrival adds even more quality to an already formidable Arsenal midfield featuring Declan Rice, Martin Ødegaard, Martin Zubimendi and Mikel Merino.

Arsenal Sporting Director Andrea Berta believes Guimarães’ ability to operate both as a defensive midfielder and a box-to-box presence will give the team greater tactical flexibility and increase competition within the squad.

In another detail that will immediately catch supporters’ attention, Arsenal confirmed that their new Brazilian star will wear his familiar No. 39 shirt.

From battling Arsenal in Newcastle colors to pulling on the famous red and white, Bruno Guimarães is officially a Gunner — and Arsenal have landed one of the Premier League’s biggest midfield names.
