Anthony Gordon will join Barcelona in a deal worth around \u00a370m, while the Guardian reports Sandro Tonali will join Tottenham in a move worth up to \u00a3100m.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Guimaraes_remains_the_main_target_in_midfield\"><\/span>Guimar\u00e3es remains the main target in midfield<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Arsenal&#8217;s interest in Guimar\u00e3es is not new. The club have admired him for years prior to his move to Newcastle, and Mikel Arteta is keen to add another top-flight midfielder to support Declan Rice.<\/p>\n<p>Guimar\u00e3es will bring Premier League experience, aggression, leadership and technical quality.<\/p>\n<p>He is a great fit for Arsenal&#8217;s midfield structure as he is able to control the tempo, win duels and advance the ball from deeper areas.<\/p>\n<p>But Newcastle&#8217;s position is understandable. After losing Gordon and Tonali, selling Guimar\u00e3es would mean three major departures in one summer.<\/p>\n<p>That would be extremely unacceptable to supporters and would mean Eddie Howe would be forced into a major rebuild.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Arsenal_must_make_an_offer_but_Newcastle_cant_refuse\"><\/span>Arsenal must make an offer, but Newcastle can&#8217;t refuse<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Arsenal are right to continue testing Newcastle&#8217;s resolve.<\/p>\n<p>Guimar\u00e3es is exactly the kind of midfielder who can immediately lift Arteta&#8217;s side up, especially in big games in the Premier League and Champions League.<\/p>\n<p>But \u00a360m may not be enough. Newcastle understand his value and are not under the same pressure to accept a lower offer after receiving huge transfer fees for Gordon and Tonali.<\/p>\n<p>Arsenal should stay in the race, but they have to be smart. If Guimar\u00e3es is really open to this move, the conversation could change.<\/p>\n<p>If Newcastle are to maintain their form, Arsenal need to prepare alternatives rather than spending the whole summer chasing a deal that may never materialize.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Breaking news: Arsenal contract, which seemed certain, is in danger of being taken over by Man City<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><!-- Article End -->\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Arsenal are not giving up on signing Bruno Guimar\u00e3es this summer, despite Newcastle United being determined to keep their captain after already losing two of their biggest stars.According to The Sun, the Gunners are negotiating through intermediaries and are expected to return with a package worth around \u00a360m.
