Bruno Guimarães is close to completing his move from Newcastle United to Arsenal, sources have told ESPN. The two Premier League clubs have agreed a deal with a guaranteed fee of £75 million. The 28-year-old Brazilian midfielder arrived at Newcastle's training camp in Spain this week following an extended break after the World Cup, and is set to undergo a medical with Arsenal before finalising his move.

Guimarães has played 153 Premier League games for Newcastle since arriving from Lyon and captained the club. He will be the third major outgoing at St James' Park this summer after the departures of Anthony Gordon and Sandro Tonali. Newcastle manager Eddie Howe announced his decision to leave by mutual consent last week after five years at the club, which boosted Arsenal's confidence in securing the signing.

Guimarães represented Brazil at this summer's World Cup, where they were eliminated by Norway in the round of 16. Arsenal have already completed several signings this summer including Christos Tzolis, Illan Meslier, and Piero Hincapié, while Newcastle have bolstered their squad with signings including Ewen Jaouen, Bazoumana Touré, and Sean Steur.
