Ask an arsenal fan which part of the team must strengthen in summer, and we are sure they would say at the center-center.
Go further and ask them for the attacker in which they want to come, and Alexander Isak from Newcastle United will be almost certainly one of the first names mentioned.
However, while the Swedish would be an incredible addition to the Mikel Arteta team, he is not the only player that the Northern Londoners should and could sign magpies.
According to reports earlier this month, the Gunners are again interested in the talented building Bruno Guimarães, although, as incredible as the Brazilian is, it is always millions of less in one of the main stars of Arsenal.
Why would Arsenal want to sign Guimarães
So there are several reasons why Arsenal would like to splash the money on Guimarães in summer, the first being that he can play in two positions according to a brilliant standard.
For example, when he played in four positions during his career, he spent the majority of his time playing as a defensive midfielder or as a central midfielder, making 181 appearances as a former and 76 like the latter.
In addition to its positional versatility – a line that we know the values of Arteta – the Brazilian international is a real threat to the attack, as in just 37 appearances this season, totaling 3006 minutes, he marked Three goals and provided eight assists.
This means that the former Lyon star is on average involvement in a goal every 3.36 games, or every 273.27 minutes, despite most of its appearances at the base of the midfielder this year.
Finally, the “world class player” of 27 years, as Nicknamed by Talent Scout Jacek KuligWith bags and experience bags to his credit, winning 32 caps for the Seleção and Captain du Toon in their first trophy in 70 years, which could be the kind of thing to help the Gunners overcome the line next year.
In all, Guimarães is one of the most exciting fields of the Premier League and more than deserving its valuation of 65.2 million euros – 55 million pounds Sterling – of the CIES football observatoryAlthough this is significantly lower than one of the stars of the Arsenal midfielder.
The Arsenal star is worth more than Guimarães
Although this season is not entirely part as planned, Arsenal is fortunate to have several high -level field circles, the captain of the club Martin Odegaard in Thomas Partey and the very experienced Jorginho.
However, in this case, we are talking about Declan Rice, which according to The CIES football observatoryBUT 108.3 million euros, or around 91 million pounds sterling, or 36 million pounds more than Guimarães.
Now, this may seem much given the sensational capacity of the Brazilian, but rice is not itself outdone, and based on its performance for the Gunners, is worth more than its valuation.
For example, the former West Ham United captain turned out to be a versatile midfielder, Make 48 appearances as the left And 42 like the six of the team, brilliantly making the two roles.
In addition, it has also become a more reliable attack outlet, accumulating an impressive count of 12 goals and 18 assists in 91 appearances for Northern Londoners, totaling 7,380 minutes.

This means English “world class”, as nicknamed by Tom Marshall-Bailey journalisthas an average of an achievement of a goal every 3.03 games, or every 246 minutes, since he moved to the Emirates.
Finally, its underlying numbers are stellar, as, According to FbrefIt is seated in the highest 4% of field environments in the best five leagues in Europe for penalty surfaces, the most important 5% for progressive portions, the 60% most important for decisive passes, the 12% higher for blocked and more, all for 90.
In the end, the signature of Guimarães would undoubtedly make a much stronger arsenal team, but it should hit the floor while running to see its valuation catch Rice’s.
