Transfer news LIVE: Arsenal open talks for Guimaraes, Vinicius Jr negotiations, Rashford’s shock suitors

Arsenal have opened talks over Newcastle midfielder Bruno Guimaraes, though an initial bid has been knocked back with the two clubs now set to negotiate over a fee. Their pursuit of Vinicius Jr continues, too, although Real Madrid are said to have offered fresh terms to the Brazilian after his return to training this week.

In order to facilitate two huge deals - both would need fees near to or in excess of £100m - Arsenal may need to sell. Christian Norgaard is set for the exit after a single season at the Emirates with Everton is his next destination, it seems. Myles Lewis-Skelly could also be an eye-raising sale with Manchester United exploring their options to bring the defender in as Michael Carrick looks to bolster his squad.

United’s aim is for a left-back with Lewis Hall also in the mix as Newcastle struggle to hold on to their stars in a summer of rebuilding. One man who could be on his way out of Old Trafford is Marcus Rashford, with Fenerbahce a surprise suitor for the England international.
