Newcastle United<\/a> will now allow Bruno Guimaraes to join Arsenal if the Gunners submitted a satisfactory offer, according to reports.<\/p>\n

The Gunners have so far made just one new signing with Illan Meslier joining from Leeds United on a free transfer, while they did make a loan move for Piero Hincapie into a permanent deal.<\/p>\n

Arsenal<\/a> are looking for quality over quantity this summer after being crowned Premier League champions last term and reaching the Champions League final.<\/p>\n

The Gunners were dealt a blow over the weekend with news that Chelsea had beaten them to the signing of Aston Villa attacking midfielder Morgan Rogers for \u00a3117m<\/p>\n

Arsenal were not prepared to pay that much for the England international with Rogers declaring Chelsea the \u201cbiggest club in London\u201d on his arrival at Stamford Bridge.<\/p>\n

And Mikel Arteta and sporting director Andrea Berta will be wary of not losing out on another signing as they continue to bid for Newcastle midfielder Guimaraes<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Ben Jacobs has revealed that Arsenal have had their latest bid of \u00a365m turned down by Newcastle, but the journalist does expect the Gunners to bid over \u00a370m.<\/p>\n

Jacobs posted on X: \u2018Arsenal plan to bid again for Bruno Guimar\u00e3es, as reported this morning. Although Newcastle deny direct formal talks to date, #AFC are accelerating their interest. Last offer via intermediaries was as high \u00a365m. Arsenal expected to go north of \u00a370m, and broad terms are already in place with Guimar\u00e3es. Newcastle sources insist they want to keep Guimar\u00e3es. One other Premier League club has made a recent enquiry as well on the player side.\u2019<\/p>\n

Jacobs added: \u2018Arsenal accelerating their pursuit of Bruno Guimaraes, as reported this morning.\u2019<\/p>\n

However, that could still not be enough as Newcastle are reportedly looking for \u00a3100m and Daily Telegraph reporter Luke Edwards insisted on Tuesday that the Geordies were \u2018mystified\u2019 by claims of club-to-club talks.<\/p>\n

Edwards wrote on X<\/a>: \u2018BREAKING Senior sources at Newcastle United are mystified by claims Arsenal have opened club to club talks over the signing of Bruno Guimaraes. They\u2019ve not heard from anyone involved about a potential deal for more than a week. Newcastle\u2019s stance remains the same and they will not lower their valuation.<\/p>\n

\u2018They do not welcome a bid and will inform Arsenal of their stance if they try to open club to club talks. They may well try to do so but nothing has changed at 1214 on Tuesday #nufc #arsenal.\u2019<\/p>\n

Arsenal handed major Bruno Guimaraes transfer boost<\/p>\n

But now Arsenal have seen a bit of light at the end of the tunnel with Caught Offside reporting that<\/a> the Gunners \u2018may have been handed a boost\u2019 as Newcastle work on a deal to replace Guimaraes with Hugo Larsson.<\/p>\n

Newcastle are \u201cintensifying\u201d their efforts to sign Eintracht Frankfurt midfielder Larsson with a source claiming that the Magpies won\u2019t stand in Guimaraes\u2019 way if Arsenal meet their asking price.<\/p>\n

A source told Caught Offside: \u201cNewcastle are intensifying their interest in Hugo Larsson in the wake of Arsenal preparing a new bid for Bruno Guimaraes.<\/p>\n

\u201cDespite what\u2019s being reported, Arsenal are really pushing for Guimaraes, and Newcastle recognise that the player also wants to go. As long as the price is right, they\u2019re not going to stand in his way.<\/p>\n

\u201cLarsson is a profile they really like, so that\u2019s one to watch.\u201d<\/p>\n

The only problem Arsenal could have is if Man Utd hijack Newcastle\u2019s deal for Larsson as the Red Devils \u2018are also really keen on Larsson\u2019 on the Sweden international.<\/p>\n
