The north London giants were heavily linked with the Brazilian earlier this summer and it was claimed that they could trigger his £100m release clause.

However, the club deemed the valuation to be expensive. Manchester City also bypassed the opportunity to secure the midfielder's services.

This has not ended the speculation over his future. TNAT Patreon claim that Arsenal could make a late swoop for the former Lyon midfielder.

There are still admirers of the 26-year-old at the north London club and they could test the Magpies' resolve in the final days of the window.

No fee has been mentioned, but it has previously been reported that Arsenal could be willing to spend around £80m for the highly-rated star.

Guimares has the ambition of playing in the Champions League and could be tempted to accept the proposal from the Gunners this summer.
