What happened. Arsenal are closing in on a deal for Bruno Guimaraes, with a fee expected to reach at least £80m, but incoming Newcastle boss Matthias Jaissle wants to hold talks with the midfielder.

• Jaissle is set to be appointed as Eddie Howe's replacement after his exit was confirmed on Friday.
• Guimaraes is among the players Jaissle wants to speak with to sell his vision.
• Arsenal also target Vinicius Jr, but Guimaraes is a prime target.

The transfer window remains open, and Jaissle's talks could influence Guimaraes' decision before a deal is finalized.
