Has Newcastle United midfielder Bruno Guimaraes just dropped huge Arsenal transfer hint on social media? | OneFootball

Arsenal are reportedly looking to sign Newcastle United midfielder Bruno Guimaraes this summer and have held talks with the representatives of the Brazilian international.

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta wants reinforcements in the middle of the park at the Emirates Stadium club, and the North Londoners have the Magpies star on their radar.

Guimaraes is aware that the Gunners are keen on signing him, and it appears he has dropped a huge hint on social media that he wants to join them.

The 28-year-old took to Instagram to post a picture of himself alongside Arsenal centre-back Gabriel Magalhaes just a few minutes after the story linking him with the Gunners dropped on the internet this evening.

Guimaraes’ last post before his recent one was more than 10 hours ago, and Arsenal fans will believe he was reacting to the latest transfer rumour.

He could have uploaded a photo of himself and any other Brazilian, but choosing to post Gabriel cannot be a coincidence.

He has been involved in 50 Premier League goals across the last four seasons, and Arteta could do with such a midfielder.

The Newcastle star ended last season with nine goals and six assists in 29 Premier League games, creating 45 chances, with 32 from open play and 12 from dead-ball situations.

Guimaraes was involved in 11 league goals in 2024-25, 15 goals in 2023-24 and nine goals in 2022-23, and his productivity in the final third is a quality the Gunners could do with.

He has two years left on his Newcastle contract and the Toons could be forced to sell him this summer as he is unlikely to sign a contract extension.
