Newcastle United Have €40 Million Bid ACCEPTED For Star Player Who's Wanted By Juventus And Arsenal

​The Magpies have already snapped up Kieran Trippier and Chris Wood following their Saudi-backed takeover. 

But it appears Eddie Howe is close to securing his third signing of the month, with Lyon accepting the club's bid for Bruno Guimaraes​.

However, there has been no answer yet from the player who is expected to respond in the next few hours. 

Guimaraes​, 24, is also attracting interest from Serie A giants Juventus and fellow Premier League side Arsenal, who are both keeping tabs on the defensive midfielder. 

The Brazilian international joined Lyon from Athletico Paranaense in January 2020 for a reported £17 million. ​

​He's played 25 games in all competitions this season ahead of potentially switching sides. 

Howe will be hoping a deal for Guimaraes​ crosses the line with his team sitting precariously in 18th place in the table. 

But they're just one point behind Norwich and have a game in hand over their relegation rivals. 

Will Guimaraes​ join the Newcastle revolution? Stay tuned.
