One can seriously question if there was even a bid placed yesterday? Maybe it is the friends we made along the way.

It was Newcastle doing the “oooo look at how we dont want to sell our captain”

PR and Optics of this circus.

See you at the finish line Arsenal fans.

[The Athletic | Football @TheAthleticFC]

Midfield is possibly the most intriguing area of the pitch for Arsenal coming into the new season. Mikel Arteta’s options are well known for the most part, but how he uses them could change compared to 2025-26.

The first reason is the need to preserve those who were depended upon heavily en route to winning the title, namely Declan Rice and Martin Zubimendi. The pair ranked first and second respectively for minutes played at Arsenal last season. Looking at the distribution of minutes played in midfield, Arteta can afford to share that game time out more equally across his group of midfielders.

For example, the majority of Myles Lewis-Skelly’s 461 minutes in midfield only came in May, and those performances suggest he should feature more prominently in those areas in the campaign ahead.

Arteta’s use of Ethan Nwaneri in the coming weeks will also be interesting, given the staggered return of Arsenal’s World Cup midfield representatives.

But is there anything they need to adjust?

🔴EXCL BRUNO G ROUND-UP🇧🇷

26th June - Arsenal register interest in the NUFC captain and send an informal offer of £55m for Bruno via intermediaries.

8th July - Bruno informs #NUFC of wish to leave and join the PL Champions. Personal terms in place.

8th-19th July - Talks via intermediaries continue, led by Kia Joorabchian; the super agent brought in to get the 28yo out of Newcastle. £65m verbal offer sent, again via intermediaries. #NUFC were not pleased with the way that #AFC were approaching the player and continue to stand firm on their valuation that the final fee must reach £80m; no matter the player’s preference.

20th July - Arsenal make opening contact with Newcastle to intensify their pursuit. Newcastle start to engage and all parties start to progress in talks. Parties made aware of probable Eddie Howe departure.

🚨Exclusive 25th July - Arsenal submit packaged offer of ~£80m including add-ons with all parties aiming to close the deal by finalising remaining details.

28th July - Remaining details finalised.

30th July - Medical booked for the coming days. Eddie Howe leaves.

A saga that ran for over 30 days but Arsenal remained patient and Bruno Guimaraes will be playing for the PL Champions next season (subject to medical completion of course).
