Newcastle United's pre-season campaign began with a 1-1 draw at Gateshead, but attention remains on the transfer window as the club seeks further reinforcements. The Magpies have already signed four players and are targeting additional signings, with a goalkeeper high on the agenda.
Bruno Guimaraes Future
Captain Bruno Guimaraes continues to be linked with a move to Arsenal, but the Gunners appear reluctant to meet Newcastle's valuation. Newcastle sources remain mystified by talk of an improved Arsenal bid, with claims of an £80m offer played down. The club is keen for the Brazilian to stay on Tyneside. Guimaraes is due to return to pre-season training on Friday and will join the squad in La Manga.
Fikayo Tomori Links
Newcastle have again been credited with interest in AC Milan defender Fikayo Tomori. The former Chelsea and England stopper can leave the San Siro this summer and is expected to return to the Premier League. United have monitored his progress in Italy, and although a move to Coventry appeared likely, reports claim Newcastle could yet make a move. Tomori worked with Sky Blues boss Frank Lampard during their time at Derby County.
