00:06Recent reports have suggested that the Gunners have intensified discussions even further and are now preparing an improved offer after
00:15holding positive talks over personal terms with the Brazilian international.
00:21Newcastle remain determined to keep their skipper with manager Eddie Howe acknowledging the rumours but insisting that the club does
00:32not want to lose one of their most influential players on and off the pitch although there is uncertainty over
00:40his future.
00:41Guimilares has established himself as one of the Premier League's standout midfielders in recent seasons after arriving from Lyon combining
00:51defensive work with creativity and leadership as well.
00:55Arsenal believe his arrival would add another dimension to a squad aiming to defend a Premier League title for the
01:03first time and go one better in the Champions League as well.
01:07Meanwhile Arsenal are also monitoring Vinicius Junior's contract at Real Madrid as well although any move for the Brazilian winger
01:18is expected to be significantly more difficult as the Spanish giants remain keen to keep him.
