Howe discusses Guimaraes' future amid Newcastle transfer challenges

Summary

Eddie Howe, head coach of Newcastle United, is expected to address Bruno Guimaraes' future after Saturday's friendly at Gateshead. Following a 2-0 defeat in May, Howe noted frustrations with Newcastle's transfer market performance, specifically missing out on Victor Munoz and Johan Manzambi. Newcastle has made several signings, including Ewen Jaouen, Sean Steur, and Bazoumana Toure, with another midfielder, Aladji Bamba, soon to be announced. Despite these additions, key departures, such as Sandro Tonali, have left gaps in the squad, heightening concerns about retaining Guimaraes, who has expressed interest in joining Arsenal.
