Bruno Guimarães completes £75m Arsenal move: 'I needed a new challenge'

Bruno Guimarães has completed his move from Newcastle to Arsenal for £75m, according to The Guardian. The 28-year-old said he "needed a new challenge in my life" after agreeing to a four-year contract, with the option of a further year.

Newcastle reluctantly agreed to sell their captain, who led the club to the Carabao Cup last season — their first trophy since 1955. Guimarães made it clear he wanted to join the Premier League champions after meeting Arsenal's new manager, Matthias Jaissle, this week.

"I want to win trophies and I'm in the right place to do it," he said. Readers can find related match highlights on this site.
