Transfer: He’ll be good signing for them – Obi Mikel on Arsenal target

Former Chelsea midfielder, John Obi Mikel, has insisted that Arsenal’s target Bruno Guimarães is going to be a good signing for the Gunners.

Arsenal are keen to sign the Brazilian international from Newcastle United this summer transfer window.

“He is going to be a good signing for Arsenal,” Obi Mikel said on the Obi One podcast.

“I think him and Declan Rice in that midfield, and Martin Odegaard is going to be good.

“Mikel Arteta knows he has to play some attractive football this season. You can’t play the same way you played last season.”

Guimarães joined Newcastle from Lyon in 2022 and was part of the Brazil squad at the 2026 World Cup.
