Arsenal have officially signed midfielder Bruno Guimaraes from Newcastle United for 75 million pounds. The 28 year old Brazilian was introduced to fans at Emirates Stadium on Saturday before a match against Borussia Dortmund. Manager Mikel Arteta described Guimaraes as a warrior with leadership and charisma, stating that the player will ignite something different in the team as they look to defend their Premier League title.
Despite the new signing, Arsenal suffered a 3 to 2 loss to Borussia Dortmund. Goals from Ethan Nwaneri and a Viktor Gyökeres penalty were not enough to secure a win, although Arsenal won a pre arranged penalty shootout 5 to 4. Arteta expressed disappointment with the result, citing poor moments in defending and set pieces. Guimaraes did not feature in the matchday squad but is expected to play against Como on Wednesday.
Arsenal have also completed signings for Christos Tzolis and goalkeeper Illan Meslier. While the club pursued Vinicius Jr, the winger signed a new deal with Real Madrid. Arteta indicated that the club remains ambitious in the transfer market. In other team news, Jurrien Timber and William Saliba remain absent due to injury.
Reporting on the event varied by political lean. Center and center left sources focused on the strategic impact of the Guimaraes signing and Arteta's vision for the squad. In contrast, the center right source framed the event around the team's failure to win their second successive pre season friendly.
