There is no doubt — Alan Shearer full of praise for new Arsenal signing

Arsenal are set to officially announce the signing of Bruno Guimaraes after a breakthrough in talks with Newcastle United for £75 million.

The 28-year-old Brazilian midfielder made it clear his preference was to move to London, and after weeks of negotiating, an agreement was finally reached.

Gunners boss Mikel Arteta views Guimaraes as an upgrade on Martin Zubimendi, and a signing who could help create a dynasty at the Emirates.

Speaking to Betfair about the incoming star, Newcastle legend Shearer praised the signing;

“Arsenal have signed a top player in Guimaraes, there is no doubt about that.

"They have signed a player who is comfortable on the ball under pressure and can deliver a killer pass.

“His attitude is also excellent, as we have seen at Newcastle United. So, there is no doubt he will improve the team.

“I think with Rice, Odegaard, and Guimaraes, it is hard to find a better midfield combination,” he said.
