Arsenal are reportedly hoping to close the deal for Newcastle United midfielder Bruno Guimarães in the coming days, even if they have to up their bid to £80 million ($107.5 million).
The Gunners have stolen recent headlines for their opportunistic interest in Real Madrid winger Vinícius Júnior, but they also remain focused on bringing Guimarães to north London. Arsenal already saw offers for £55 million ($73 million) and £70 million ($93.2 million) turned away by the Magpies, but that is not stopping the defending Premier League champions.
