Press reports revealed that Arsenal is intensifying its efforts to sign Brazilian star Bruno Guimarães during the upcoming summer transfer window, at the direct request of coach Mikel Arteta.

The reports indicated that Newcastle United will not easily part with its player, as they are expected to demand around 100 million euros to agree to the deal during the upcoming transfer market period.

Arsenal's interest comes as part of its quest to strengthen the midfield with distinguished players, given the coaching staff's conviction of the player's capabilities and great potential.

Arsenal is not the only club interested in signing the Brazilian star, as the player has been linked with many major European clubs, including Barcelona, Manchester United, and Manchester City.
