Arsenal are in advanced negotiations to acquire Brazilian midfielder Bruno Guimaraes from Newcastle United.
The talks center on a potential £75 million fee, with the player reportedly having already agreed personal terms with the Premier League champions.
Newcastle had previously resisted the sale, but recent discussions suggest the club is becoming more receptive to a transfer.
The move follows a summer that saw Newcastle lose Anthony Gordon and Sandro Tonali, prompting concerns about squad depth.
Guimaraes, 28, has delivered consistent performances in the Premier League, offering goals, creativity, and defensive coverage in midfield.
Arsenal see the midfielder as a priority signing that could bolster their midfield and aid ambitions to retain the Premier League title and compete for the Champions League.
A swift conclusion to the deal would allow both clubs to finalize arrangements before the new season commences.
