Arsenal's pursuit of Bruno Guimaraes is reportedly far from over, with the Gunners understood to still view the Newcastle midfielder as a priority target heading into the next transfer window.
According to EPL Index (Opta Stats), Mikel Arteta's side could revive their interest in the Brazilian, though Newcastle are said to be holding firm on a valuation in the region of £100 million for their prized playmaker.
Guimaraes has established himself as one of the Premier League's standout midfielders since joining from Lyon, and his ball-carrying, tackling and passing range have made him a target for several of England's biggest clubs. Arsenal are believed to see him as the ideal profile to strengthen their midfield options as they look to close the gap on the division's top sides.
Whether a fresh bid materialises remains to be seen, but the report suggests Arsenal's admiration for the 27-year-old hasn't wavered — even with Newcastle determined not to budge on their asking price.
