I'm glad for the opportunity," Guimaraes told Arsenal's media channels."We have tough games to play this season so the squad is going to be very, very important and I'm hopeful we can achieve our dreams."The 28-year-old said he'd been enthused about joining Arsenal right from his initial contacts with sporting director Andrea Berta and manager Mikel Arteta. "Since the first time I spoke to Berta and Mikel I was excited," said Guimaraes. "I just felt inside of me that I need a new challenge in my life and I think to be an Arsenal player is going to be an exciting challenge in my life."I think after playing two World Cups, I'm at the point of my life, I think I need a challenge like this."I want to win trophies, I want to make history and I think I'm in the right place to do it. I'm so excited to start."- 'Strengthening the heart of our team' -Guimaraes is Arsenal's most high-profile signing of the transfer window so far, joining fellow new arrivals Illan Meslier and Christos Tzolis."With Bruno joining us, we are further strengthening the heart of our team," said Berta."As we have all seen, Bruno can play as a defensive midfielder and as a box-to-box player. He combines quality with quantity, and has provided goals and assists for his team every year."Bruno will allow Mikel to further develop our playing style and will also increase our internal competitiveness, which is essential for maintaining the standards required when we are aiming to win major trophies."Guimaraes was also linked with Arsenal in January 2022, when he ended up leaving Lyon for Newcastle. But he has now joined the Gunners after scoring 31 goals in 195 appearances for the Magpies.Under coach Eddie Howe, Guimaraes helped Newcastle end a 56-year major trophy drought when they won the 2025 League Cup and was also involved as they twice qualified for the Champions League.Guimaraes is the third high-profile player to leave the northeast club ahead of the new season following the exits of Anthony Gordon and Sandro Tonali."This is one of the toughest decisions of my life. When I arrived, the club was in a challenging position and I am incredibly proud of what we achieved together," Guimaraes said in Newcastle's statement."I fell in love with this place. I really mean that."Howe stepped down as Newcastle manager last week and has since been replaced by German Matthias Jaissle.Guimaraes, who played for Brazil at the recent World Cup, will compete for a place in Arsenal's midfield with Declan Rice, Myles Lewis-Skelly, Martin Zubimendi and Mikel Merino.Arsenal kick off their season against Manchester City in the Community Shield next Sunday, before starting their title defence against newly-promoted Coventry five days later.Newcastle get their campaign under way against Liverpool at St James' Park on August 23.jc-jdg

HONG KONG, CHINA - AUGUST 6: Goalkeeper Manuel Neuer (L) and Jonas Urbig (R) of FC Bayern Munich react during the Bayern Munchen Training Session in the Kai Tak Stadium on August 6, 2026 in Hong Kong, China. (Photo by Yu Chun Christopher Wong/Eurasia Sport Images/Getty Images) | Getty ImagesThere has been quite a lot of talk lately revolving the goalkeeping scene at Bayern Munich, after reports of Manuel Neuers impending retirement, Jonas Urbigs role in the club, and general discontent among fans. Head coach Vincent Kompany decided to clarify his plans for the two.Speaking in an interview, captured by @iMiaSanMia, Kompany addressed the goalkeeping hierarchy, affirming Manuel Neuers status as the starting choice, but also laying out a deliberate development path for his 22-year-old understudy Urbig.Manu is our number 1, I like to be clear, Kompany explained. But we love Jonas Urbig. We want to continue his improvement and development. He played in a cup final against Stuttgart and in important Champions League matches. The goal and this is not surprising is that we want to give him game time. When and how, well see, the season will decide.Neuer is already 40, an age at which 99% of football players would have already retired, but it looks like some legends just dont want to hang up the boots. Questions about his performance and its decline due to his age have been going around for some time now, especially before (and after, to be honest) his return to international football. Urbig is the most obvious choice to take his place his development has been phenomenal, and he has proved himself more than once. While this particular author wishes that Alexander Nbel was handled differently, and given the chance to become the next Neuer, Urbig deserves to take over. Whether or not Neuer will retire at the end of the season is still unclear, even if it does seem like he will. How do you think Vincent Kompany should divide up the game time between Neuer and Urbig across the Bundesliga and cup competitions? Let us know in the comments!
