United Kingdom: Arsenal Sign Bruno Guimaraes for £75M From Newcastle

Mikel Arteta said the signing of Bruno Guimaraes will help Arsenal go to the "next level" and hinted that the Gunners are not done with their summer transfer activity. Arsenal signed Bruno Guimaraes for £75m from Newcastle United, and the deal was officially announced on Saturday. The 28-year-old midfielder was introduced to fans inside Emirates Stadium before the match against Borussia Dortmund, though he was not included in the matchday squad for the 3-2 loss.

He is likely to be involved in the game against Como on Wednesday. Arteta explained why he was so keen to bring the Brazilian to north London, saying: I'm delighted to have him. We see very clearly - especially the energy that he brought immediately to the training ground - the hunger, the desire to come here and create a big history at the club. We want to go to the next level and are very, very much convinced that we're going to need players with such a personality, desire and character to push everybody inside the organisation to go even higher.
