Arsenal and Manchester City are reportedly keen on Newcastle midfielder Bruno Guimaraes ahead of his release clause expiring next month.

Bruno Guimares was a standout performer for Newcastle United last season, making his £40million fee from Lyon two-and-a-half years ago look like a stipend.

He has become one of the best midfielders in the Premier League, but he could leave the club this summer with a reported release clause of £100m set to expire on June 24.

Guimares to leave Newcastle this summer?

Reports in the Brazilian media indicate interest in Guimaraes’ camp in receiving an offer from at least two of Newcastle’s Premier League rivals.

Arsenal are long-term admirers of the 26-year-old and want to sign a new midfielder in the summer.

City, meanwhile, are also keen and will likely readjust their transfer plans amid the ongoing uncertainty over target Lucas Paqueta and his charges for betting breaches.
