OFFICIAL/ Arsenal sign Brazilian Bruno Guimarães
Arsenal have announced one of their biggest signings of the summer transfer window, securing the services of Brazilian midfielder Bruno Guimarães from Newcastle United.
The London club did not disclose the transfer fee, but Sky Sports reported it to be £75 million (€87 million).
The 28-year-old said upon signing his four-year contract with Arsenal: “I want to win trophies, I want to make history, and I think I’m in the right place to do that.”
Guimarães is expected to wear the number 39 shirt for Arsenal, the same number he wore during his official presentation.
Bruno Guimarães’ move to Arsenal makes him the third signing this summer for the Premier League champions, following Christos Tzolis, Illan Meslier, and the permanent acquisition of Piero Hincapie from Bayer Leverkusen.
