Bruno Guimarães, born on 16 November 1997 (age 28), is a Brazilian defensive midfielder now with Arsenal. His current market value is around £68m, according to Transfermarkt.
His career has been shaped most clearly by Newcastle United, where he made 153 league appearances over five seasons and scored 30 league goals. For a player operating from deeper areas, that is an unusually sharp return, and it was a large part of what made him more than just another tidy midfielder in a busy Premier League side.
In 2025-26 he has remained prominent at Arsenal, making 38 appearances in all competitions and scoring nine goals. That includes 29 Premier League appearances, seven in the Champions League, one in the FA Cup and one in the Community Shield. The goal return has again been notable rather than ornamental.
Guimarães is now an established Brazilian midfielder with a substantial Newcastle spell behind him and a continuing first-team role at Arsenal. His career to this point has been built on durability, league consistency and a scoring output that stands above the usual expectations for his position.
