Arsenal agree £75m fee with Newcastle for Bruno Guimarães as clubs reach compromise

• Magpies rejected opening offer of £70m on Monday

• Newcastle captain to travel from Spain training camp

Bruno Guimarães is poised to leave Newcastle’s pre-season training camp in southern Spain and fly to London before a £75m move to Arsenal. The departing Newcastle captain is scheduled to undergo a medical in north London in the next couple of days after the two clubs finally compromised on the fee.

While Arsenal had wanted initially to pay no more than £60m for the Brazil midfielder, who turns 29 in November and has two years remaining on his contract, Newcastle demanded a minimum of £80m.
