Attention is turning to the summer transfer window, reigniting the rivalry between Newcastle and Arsenal as they both vie for the services of Brazilian star Guimaraes. Despite Newcastle’s financial constraints, Arsenal is eager to reinforce its midfield, with speculation surrounding the futures of Jorginho and Thomas Partey.

Newcastle, however, is determined to retain their prized asset for at least another season, despite the reported £100m release clause in his contract. Gunners boss, Arteta, has hinted at significant improvements in the summer, having already discussed strategies with the sporting director, Edu.

This aligns with the club’s ambition to relentlessly progress and satisfy the demands of the team and its supporters. Newcastle’s manager, Eddie Howe, has emphasized the integral role of Guimaraes within the team and expressed a strong desire to retain him.

However, Howe acknowledges that the club’s ambitions and future direction will play a pivotal role in the decision-making process.
