Arsenal's next three transfers after Bruno Guimaraes as £75m deal confirmed Arsenal will chase other targets after poaching Bruno Guimaraes from Newcastle. Arsenal have officially confirmed the signing of Newcastle captain Bruno Guimaraes, who has joined the Gunners in a deal worth around £75million. He has signed a four-year contract, which includes the option to extend by a further 12 months. The move was officially confirmed on Saturday, with Guimaraes also sending a classy message to Magpies supporters. He has become Arsenal's fourth signing of the window after Illan Meslier, Christos Tzolis and Piero Hincapie. However, their business won't be done yet, with Mikel Arteta eager to add further reinforcements ahead of a renewed Premier League title challenge. They were heavily linked with a potential move for Vinicius Junior before it emerged that he had decided to stay at Real Madrid. Express Sport looks at three other players Arsenal could look to sign after Guimaraes... Kenan Yildiz After missing out on Vinicius, the Gunners have been linked with a possible swoop for Juventus forward Kenan Yildiz. They have reportedly been tracking the Turkish winger for some time and could firm up their interest in the coming weeks, according to The Times. It's claimed that Arsenal have already approached Juventus regarding a potential switch, but have been told Yildiz is not for sale. However, that is exactly what Newcastle said about Guimaraes before finally agreeing to let him leave. As such, it remains to be seen if a deal with Juventus can be agreed in the near future. Pio Esposito Arsenal have also been credited with an interest in Inter Milan striker Pio Esposito, who has also been linked with Manchester United. According to The Sun, the north Londoners are leading the Red Devils in the race to sign the 21-year-old this summer. The report states that while Inter Milan don't want to sell Esposito, they would reluctantly accept an offer in the region of £73m. He is thought to be keen on the idea of playing in the Premier League, but won't throw his toys out of the pram in an attempt to force an exit. Ezri Konsa Aston Villa defender Ezri Konsa has been mooted as another potential signing for Arsenal, who reportedly saw a bid knocked back last month. They are preparing to return to the table with an improved proposal, according to The Guardian, but it's not known if Villa would be willing to negotiate. The report claims they value Konsa at around £60m and are not interested in letting him join Arsenal for anything less. The former Brentford man, who was a regular for England at the World Cup, remains tied down at Villa Park until the summer of 2028. EXPRESS SPORT ON FB!
