Arsenal close to sealing Bruno Guimarães transfer, says Romano

Arsenal have moved to the brink of signing Newcastle midfielder Bruno Guimarães. According to Fabrizio Romano, the clubs are in the final stage of talks and have already held several rounds of discussions, with the player's representatives involved as well. The insider says this has not been a sudden development - the two sides have been in contact for some time, and negotiations have now reached an advanced point. Personal terms with the 28-year-old Brazilian were agreed weeks ago, so the only thing left is for Arsenal and Newcastle to finalize the transfer between the clubs. Newcastle, for their part, have already begun working on a possible replacement for their captain. New head coach Matthias Jaissle and the club's hierarchy are looking at options in case Guimarães leaves. Despite reports claiming the move is already done, no official agreement has been completed and no medical has been scheduled. Still, Romano says his signature 'Here we go' could arrive at any moment.
