Bruno Guimaraes was on Arsenal’s transfer radar during the winter transfer window.
But rather than land on Arsenal’s doorstep, he ended up at Newcastle United.
Arsenal fans won’t be able to see the midfield ball with their Champions League-chasing team, but they will be able to see him work his magic alongside a certain Gabriel Martinelli.
The 20-year-old, in what is his first Brazil call-up, posted on Instagram that he had an ‘unforgettable’ first day at camp.
Newcastle United’s new superstar responded in the comments section by saying, ‘let’s go, Marti’, as he is looking forward to linking up with the thriving forward in their national colours.
Brazil have two World Cup qualifiers to deal with during this forthcoming international break, including a showdown against Chile on Thursday.
That’s when Martinelli and Guimaraes will be hoping to link up and showcase to the world what they could have produced in Arsenal colours.
Both players deserve their recent call-ups and Martinelli, for one, will be hoping to now cement his place in the side ahead of the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.
From that young fresh-faced teenager that was plucked out of nowhere by Arsenal technical director, Edu.
The 20-year-old is now making huge, huge strides in the game and deserves his recent rise – and it’s only going to get better.
