Gunners icon speaks on the potential Arsenal signing of £100M star!

Gunners icon Ray Parlour has had his say on the possible Arsenal signing of Bruno Guimaraes this summer window.

Over the past couple of seasons – Guimaraes has developed into one of the very best midfielders in the Premier League and a player that Mikel Arteta is reportedly as massive fan of as he seeks to improve his squad.

There are quite a few squad members that Mikel Arteta is reportedly looking to offload this summer window, and Guimaraes will be expected to be the immediate replacement for Thomas Partey, who is one those players linked wit a move away.

But although Parlour is a big fan of Guimaraes, the ex-England midfielder is unsure if the 26-year-old would slot in tactically at ARSENAL.

Speaking to Football FanCast for NetBet Casino, he said: “I like him as a player, he is very strong and has been a big part in the improvement that Newcastle have made under Eddie Howe.

“I’m not sure he fits into the Arsenal team as we have Declan Rice and Guimaraes is that little bit more offensive than where Arsenal needs to strengthen.

“If (Thoas) Partey moves on then Arsenal may go for a more efficient player than Guimaraes, so I’m not 100% sure Arteta will look to pursue him.”

Look, Guimaraes is a quality player – but he will not want to join Arsenal and sit on the bench every week – he will want to start and with the starting 11 that the Gunners have – that would be very difficult.

There have been so many players linked with a move to ARSENAL this summer – but unless something crazy happens – we cannot see the Gunners paying £100 million for the Brazilian star.
