Arsenal’s new £75m signing Bruno Guimaraes (Picture: Getty) Paul Scholes has questioned new Arsenal signing Bruno Guimaraes and says Tottenham bought a ‘better player’ this summer. Brazilian midfielder Guimaraes was unveiled to Arsenal fans at the Emirates Stadium on Sunday following his £75m move from Newcastle United. Mikel Arteta identified Guimaraes as his top midfield target earlier in the summer and Arsenal finally made a breakthrough after weeks of negotiations with Newcastle. Scholes has never been blown away by Guimaraes but insists he could ‘make Arsenal a better football team’ as they attempt to retain the Premier League trophy.

But the Manchester United legend says Guimaraes is not even the best midfield to leave Newcastle this summer as he views Sandro Tonali as a more complete player. Arsenal were one of several clubs to express interest in Tonali before Tottenham secured his signature in a club-record deal worth £100m. ‘I think Bruno Guimaraes will make Arsenal a better football team,’ Scholes said on The Good, The Bad & The Football podcast, sponsored by Midnite. Guimaraes during his Arsenal unveiling (Picture: Getty) ‘I don’t think the football we watched from them was great. You need midfield players to make your team play good football – is he going to do that enough for Arsenal? ‘I know they won the league but I don’t think they got the midfield right last season. ‘Maybe this is the answer to it but I do think Sandro Tonali is a better player, he’s got more legs about him. Man Utd legend Paul Scholes (Picture: YouTube) ‘I don’t think Bruno is amazing physically but he might be more suited to Arsenal.’ Arteta has high hopes for ‘warrior’ Guimaraes and believes the Brazilian can help Arsenal go to ‘the next level’. ‘I think he describes himself as a warrior,’ Arteta said. ‘I think he’s a warrior with a tremendous quality as well and intuition and leadership and charisma that is going to help us. https://www.instagram.com/p/Db30k_lxDIM/ ‘It is going to really ignite something different in the team. I’m delighted to have him. ‘We see very clearly – especially the energy that he brought immediately to the training ground – the hunger, the desire to come here and create a big history at the club. ‘That’s the ambition that we need. We want to go to the next level and are very, very much convinced that we’re going to need players with such a personality, desire and character to push everybody inside the organisation to go even higher.’ Tottenham summer signing Sandro Tonali (Picture: PA) Meanwhile, Tonali said it took ‘just 10 minutes’ to decide to join Tottenham after speaking to new Spurs boss Roberto De Zerbi. ‘Honestly, I spoke with another team [also],’ Tonali admitted. ‘When you speak with a team, the first impression is a big thing and my impression was very positive. ‘When you are happy after a 10-minute chat, it’s everything, everything is perfect. ‘I spoke with my wife – this was the first thing. We wanted to change our life, but not just for the city, we wanted to change everything. We spoke with two clubs. ‘I understood after 10, 15 minutes that Tottenham would be my next team.’ Spurs finished just two points above the relegation zone last season and kick-start their 2026-27 Premier League campaign against Brentford. Arsenal, meanwhile, begin their title defence against newly-promoted Coventry City next Friday night. For more stories like this, check our sport page.

One big signing missed and one through the doors - it's been a mixed transfer window for Arsenal. The Gunners were unsuccessful in what turned out to be a very public pursuit of Real Madrid winger Vinicius Jr but did manage to bring in fellow Brazilian and Newcastle captain Bruno Guimaraes for £75m. The signing of Guimaraes is another of the "win now" signings like Martin Zubimendi and Viktor Gyokeres last summer as he immediately raises the level and competition of the Arsenal squad.
Arsenal’s search for defensive reinforcements has taken another step forward, with Aston Villa centre-back Ezri Konsa emerging as a serious option for Mikel Arteta. The Gunners have already strengthened heavily this summer, including the £75 million arrival of Bruno Guimarães from Newcastle United, but injuries have shifted attention towards the back line.

Today’s rumours are just trying to orbit the sunWhen did the summer of 2026 transform into a midfield merry-go-round? Now Bruno Guimarães has rocked up at Arsenal and Manchester United have a couple of new signings, it stands to reason that more midfielders will be on the move soon and Real Madrid appear to be chasing Gunners metronome Martín Zubimendi.It seems odd that Arsenal would sanction a sale, given they spent most of the 2024-25 campaign coveting the former Real Sociedad star, but Mikel Arteta has forward and defensive targets to land instead. Pedro Neto is the latest winger to be linked, though Liverpool and Tottenham are also in the queue for the Chelsea flyer. Tricky Juventus wide man Kenan Yildiz has also been mentioned in relation to Arsenal. Continue reading...
