Arsenal target both Guimarães and Tonali as Tottenham rival United for Fernandes

Arsenal have identified Newcastle United midfielders Bruno Guimarães and Sandro Tonali as transfer targets this summer, with Newcastle bracing for fresh bids for both players. The north London club’s pursuit adds pressure to a Newcastle side already fielding interest in two of their most influential figures.

Manchester United, meanwhile, have suffered a setback in at least one of their own transfer plans, though their pursuit of West Ham midfielder Mateus Fernandes continues. That chase has grown more complicated with Tottenham Hotspur now entering the running for the Portugal international, setting up a potential Premier League bidding contest.

Elsewhere, Elliot Anderson’s move from Nottingham Forest to Manchester City is expected to be formally announced within days, with the England international set to complete his switch to the Etihad.

The summer window is shaping up to be a busy one for Premier League clubs, with several high-profile midfield deals in various stages of negotiation across the top flight.
