Bruno Guimarães completes move from Newcastle to Arsenal
Arsenal have completed the signing of Bruno Guimarães from Newcastle, with the transfer confirmed on 7 August 2026. The midfielder arrives as one of the more experienced additions to the squad ahead of the club's early-season fixtures.
The move brings a player who was a regular fixture for Newcastle across multiple competitions last year, giving Arsenal another option in central midfield as the Premier League campaign gets under way.
A busy 2025 for Guimarães
Guimarães' 2025 record shows the scale of his workload at Newcastle, with 41 competitive appearances and 3,322 minutes played across all competitions, alongside nine goals. The bulk of that came in the Premier League, where he featured 29 times for 2,455 minutes.
He also contributed in Europe, making seven appearances and playing 542 minutes in the UEFA Champions League, while adding four League Cup outings and a single FA Cup appearance to round out his season.
With Arsenal already under way in the Premier League this season, Guimarães' arrival gives the club a further body in midfield as they build on the opening weeks of the campaign.
