Brazil vs. Norway. The stage was set for several matches in the match, where the English media was particularly concerned with the meeting between Martin Ødegaard and Bruno Guimaraes, two players who very soon could wear the same shirt in the match arena.
Ødegaard showed his class, while the Newcastle captain went to bed this evening with the memory of a Norwegian Viking goalkeeper, a burnt penalty and a World Cup exit against the former football mosquito Norway. For Guimaraes, this meant speeding up the transfer process, now it is reported that one of the Premier League’s best midfielders has agreed with Arsenal.

The Bruno Guimarães transfer saga takes the next step. Previously, English media have reported that the Newcastle captain has informed his club that he wants to move on and join Arsenal. Now, the protagonist has reportedly also agreed with the London club.
L’Équipe claims that the Brazilian midfielder has agreed on a five-year contract, now negotiations remain with Newcastle, who understand they cannot hold on to their captain. According to The Athletic , Arsenal have tested themselves with bids of £55m and £65m, but will probably need up to £70.80m to get Newcastle to open the exit door at St. James’ Park for their Brazilian star.

English Goal described Arsenal’s Guimaraes signing as the piece in a super trio of Ødegaard and Rice: “Rice will continue to act as a defensively minded box-to-box shutter, Guimaraes can contribute the ‘dirty’ work, hard running and creativity as number eight, and Odegaard will be freed up to create at the top of the pitch, knowing that his team is in safe hands in the transition period and without the pressure of striving to end the club’s wait for a title.”
