Bruno Guimaraes targets trophies at Arsenal after £75 million switch from Newcastle | OneFootball

Bruno Guimaraes says his priority is to win major honours with Arsenal after a £75 million switch from Newcastle United this summer. The 28-year-old acknowledges a long-term wish to return to Brazil but insists his focus is fixed on North London.

According to Goal.com, while on Brazil duty he outlined hopes of playing again for Vasco da Gama or Athletico Paranaense later in his career, yet stressed he has only just arrived at Arsenal and wants to leave his mark as the club chase Premier League dominance. He added that the future is in God’s hands.

Reflecting on his exit, he spoke of deep pride in his Newcastle spell and in helping, as captain, to end the club’s 70-year wait for a major trophy. After almost five years on Tyneside, he felt ready for a new challenge and expressed gratitude to the Magpies.

The move raises expectations, with Arsenal reigning as Premier League champions and intent on staying at the summit. He has started positively, embraced added responsibility and is adapting to a different routine.

He and club team-mate Gabriel Magalhaes undertook a long trip to join Brazil in Australia. Brazil face Australia in Townsville on Friday, 25 September, then in Brisbane four days later, before travelling to India to meet the national team in Calcutta on 3 October, assignments he views as shaping culture as much as results.
