"Newcastle" team is likely to lose another leader.

As reported by journalist David Ornstein, this time captain Bruno Guimarães has requested permission to leave the club.

The 28-year-old Brazilian wants to don the jerseys of London’s "Arsenal".

"The Magpies" have so far not wanted to sell the key footballer, but his determination to seek change could alter the situation.

During the transfer window, "Newcastle" sold winger Anthony Gordon to "Barcelona" for £69.3 million and midfielder Sandro Tonali to "Tottenham" for £100 million.
