This summer, many teams are pursuing Brazil international Guimarães, and among them, the most wanted to sign him are Newcastle and Arsenal. In the end, however, Guimarães chose Newcastle over Arsenal. Many believe that Guimarães made this choice because Newcastle gave him a higher contract. However, Guimarães said in a recent interview that he was impressed by Newcastle's ambitions and finally refused Arsenal's invitation to join Newcastle. Without further ado, see what the players themselves say!
Guimarães said in an interview: "I chose Newcastle over Arsenal mainly because Newcastle will become an important team in football, this club has a long history, I have no doubt about my decision to join Newcastle. Newcastle executives have been very candid and they have not hidden their squad from relegation this season. However, in the next few seasons, Newcastle's goal is to enter the Champions League and win the Champions League. I believe in Newcastle's plans and I'm happy to be a part of it. 】
Of course, some people think that Guimarães is for Newcastle's high salary, but these fans ignore the point that Newcastle has the potential to develop. According to the current situation of Newcastle, as long as the relegation is successful this season, they will definitely attract reinforcements in the next few transfer windows, and in this case, the rise of Newcastle is only a matter of time, and in the future, they will most likely become top teams such as Manchester City and Paris. As for Arsenal, although they are currently ranked higher than Newcastle, their development prospects are really not as good as Newcastle.
Of course, The rise of Newcastle is still a few years away, and newcastle's biggest goal this season is to complete relegation, and they are currently in second-to-last place in the Premier League, just one point away from fourth-to-last Norwich. At the same time, the team will play against another relegation opponent, Everton, in the early hours of tomorrow morning, which can be said to be a game worth six points, but I don't know what kind of results Newcastle can get in this game. If Newcastle can win, then they can escape the relegation zone for a while!
