Arsenal\u2019s links with the Brazilian came amid Mikel Arteta\u2019s lack of options in midfield while the Gunners also look likely to lose Mohamed Elneny when his contract runs out in the summer.<\/p>\n<h3>Newcastle United\u2019s Move<\/h3>\n<p>The newly found riches at St James\u2019 Park means that Newcastle and Eddie Howe are looking to strengthen the squad to try and avert relegation to the Championship. They have already added <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2022\/01\/13\/chris-wood-newcastle-united\/\" target=\"_self\">Chris Wood<\/a> from <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2022\/01\/20\/burnley-eye-mislav-orsic\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_self\">Burnley<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2022\/01\/07\/newcastle-announce-kieran-trippier-signing\/\" target=\"_self\">Kieran Trippier<\/a> to their ranks. <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/tanziloic\/status\/1486067742482575366?s=21\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">RMC<\/a> also report that the bid is around \u20ac40 million and the Northern English club are willing to quadruple the player&#8217;s wages.<\/p>\n<p>Despite having the money to spend, Newcastle&#8217;s position in the Premier League is not helping them to attract the quality they are looking for. Diego Carlos of Sevilla had been linked with Eddie Howe&#8217;s side, but it now seems he will be remaining in La Liga this month although the club may return for him in the summer depending on what league they then find themselves in.<\/p>\n<h3>Lyon<\/h3>\n<p>Guimares joined Lyon in 2020, signing a four and a half year deal when he joined from Athletico Paranaense for a fee reported to be around \u20ac20 million.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ChrisDHWaugh\/status\/1486093055841210368?s=20\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">The Athletic<\/a> report that Newcastle&#8217;s offer is close to the French side&#8217;s asking price for the 24-year-old, and that it could yet be accepted.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Main Photo<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a id=\"S8pmCMuLSCtWGu3aQaH2AQ\" class=\"gie-single\" style=\"color: #a7a7a7; text-decoration: none; font-weight: normal !important; border: none; display: inline-block;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gettyimages.co.uk\/detail\/1364427288\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Embed from Getty Images<\/a><script>window.gie=window.gie||function(c){(gie.q=gie.q||[]).push(c)};gie(function(){gie.widgets.load({id:'S8pmCMuLSCtWGu3aQaH2AQ',sig:'d0j3jPAAVZxls5OlICgAisaAUPY1QGcmBR0MBB2Os3k=',w:'594px',h:'396px',items:'1364427288',caption: true ,tld:'co.uk',is360: false })});<\/script><script src='\/\/embed-cdn.gettyimages.com\/widgets.js' charset='utf-8' async><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fabrizio Romano has reported that Newcastle United\u00a0have made a bid for Lyon midfielder Bruno Guimaraes on the evening of January 24th and the proposal is now said to be being considered.
