Newcastle Reject Arsenal's Bid for Guimaraes Newcastle United has rejected Arsenal's opening bid for Bruno Guimaraes, sparking a tense standoff between the two clubs.

Guimaraes' admiration for his former head coach, Eddie Howe, is well documented, but it seems clear that he values opportunities over nostalgia.
