Newcastle continues talks with Arsenal over Bruno Guimaraes transfer

Newcastle United's first bid from Arsenal for Bruno Guimaraes has been rejected, but both clubs expect a transfer to occur. Guimaraes recently arrived late to Newcastle's training camp in Spain and is eager to join Arsenal, which performed better last season. Reports suggest an improved offer of £70m to £80m could secure his move. Arsenal is believed to have scheduled a medical for Guimaraes this week, pending negotiations with Newcastle for his transfer.
