According to the latest report from The Telegraph, Arsenal is preparing to intensify their pursuit of Guimaraes, who is now Arsenal's top target.
It is reported that Arteta is eager to strengthen the team's midfield, and Arsenal has considered many options in recent months, including Matheus Fernandes and Alex Scott. The former has joined Tottenham Hotspur, while Bournemouth insists that Scott will not transfer this summer.
Arsenal is eager to accelerate their pursuit of Guimaraes. Arsenal has also been tracking this Brazilian midfielder for several seasons. As of Tuesday afternoon, senior officials from Arsenal and Newcastle United have not held direct talks, but this process is now expected to speed up.
However, it is currently unknown whether Arsenal is willing to make an offer that Newcastle United can accept. Newcastle United has no intention of selling Guimaraes and has made this clear throughout the transfer window.
For Newcastle United to sell Guimaraes, the transfer fee must be close to the level of Tottenham Hotspur signing Tonali, whose initial transfer fee to Tottenham Hotspur was £92.5 million, plus £7.5 million in add-ons.
Guimaraes represented Brazil in the World Cup and has been on vacation since, expected to return to Newcastle United for training next week. The 28-year-old Brazilian midfielder plans to participate in the club's pre-season training camp in La Manga, which will begin on July 31.
Arsenal is interested in signing a new midfielder. Rice and Zubimendi both made over 50 appearances in all competitions last season. Zubimendi's form declined sharply in the second half of the season, possibly due to his excessive workload, while Rice has been plagued by injuries for several months.

I just don't know how some of u reason. U talk as if Arsenal don't sign players at all. They should sign Tonali for 100m, Hernandez for 85m, Rodgers for 117m. All bunch of Average players.
