Bruno Guimaraes continues to be a peripheral figure at Arsenal, a squad player with the Gunners, as Mikel Arteta rates the likes of defender turned makeshift midfielder Myles Lewis-Skelly ahead of the Brazil international. The former Newcastle United midfielder was reduced to a bit part player on Saturday, on the bench as usual and only coming on once Arsenal had made the game safe against Everton.
