Multiple reports claim that Arsenal are “willing” to double down on their approach for Bruno Guimarães with an improved offer, which makes sense for one very specific reason: his composure on the ball.
Newcastle United’s talismanic captain was the subject of a surprise bid from Arsenal at the end of June.

Even though it was subsequently claimed that Guimarães himself was keen on a move, any aspirations of bringing the Brazilian to north London appeared to be fading with each day.
