Eddie Howe has stepped down as Newcastle United manager, leaving the club without a head coach as the summer transfer window approaches.
Midfielder Bruno Guimaraes is widely expected to leave Newcastle this season, with Arsenal identified as the most likely destination.
The manager's exit appears to have accelerated discussions about Guimaraes' future, prompting speculation that the transfer could be finalized before the window closes.
Guimaraes has reportedly expressed dissatisfaction with the recent changes at Newcastle, adding to uncertainty about his commitment to the club.
Newcastle has already seen several key players depart, including Anthony Gordon, Sandro Tonali and Alexander Isak, fueling concerns about the squad's stability.
At Arsenal, Guimaraes would provide valuable midfield depth, complementing the heavy workloads shouldered by current regulars.
