Newcastle United head coach Eddie Howe says he is unsure about the future of captain Bruno Guimaraes as speculation continues that Arsenal are interested in signing him. In comments reported by multiple outlets, Howe says he has held “positive discussions” with Guimaraes and remains hopeful the midfielder will stay at St James’ Park. However, Howe also acknowledges that he does not know what will ultimately happen this summer.
Reports linked to the transfer talk indicate Guimaraes has expressed a desire to move to Arsenal, though Arsenal’s approach has not involved direct contact with Newcastle according to one outlet, which says the club has explored deal conditions through intermediaries. Other coverage frames the situation as ongoing uncertainty, with Howe balancing confidence from his conversations with Guimaraes against the reality that a decision has not yet been made. Across the reports, the central points are Howe’s uncertainty, his hope for Guimaraes to remain, and the continued presence of Arsenal-linked interest.
