Bruno Guimaraes’ wages compared to current squad

Bruno Guimaraes is on the verge of joining Premier League champions Arsenal – but how do his wages compare to those of his new team-mates?

Guimaraes, who has scored 31 goals in 195 appearances for Newcastle since joining from Lyon in 2022, has been Mikel Arteta’s main midfield target and the Gunners will pay an initial £70million to sign the 28-year-old.

This deal will surely include a pay rise for Guimaraes, who currently takes home £160,000 per week at Newcastle.

This would place him 10th in Arsenal’s pay structure, behind his new midfield colleagues Declan Rice and Martin Odegaard.

Here’s a full breakdown of every player in Arsenal’s squad and how much they earn in wages compared to Guimaraes at Newcastle.
