Chris Waddle has explained why Arsenal is the perfect destination for Bruno Guimaraes. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.
Revealing why a switch to the Emirates Stadium holds huge appeal for the Brazil international, Waddle revealed that Bruno joined Arsenal because he is guaranteed a bumper contract and UCL football.
Chris added that the writing was always on the wall for Newcastle United after Isak, Gordon and Tonali’s exit.
His words, “League title, Champions League, London. And, let’s not forget, he’ll be getting a bumper contract. Money talks, we know that.
Yes, players do want to play in the Champions League and they want to play at the top and they want to win trophies. I understand that as well. So, he’s looked at it and thought, this is the next stage.
He’s 28, 29, they’re going to probably get two years out of him, two to three years. And, to him it’s obviously a chance to win the Champions League, chance to win the Premier League, FA Cup, League Cup. And, as I say, financially, he’ll be a lot healthier. And, when he’s playing for Brazil, it’s easier to get from London, I think, to Brazil than it is from Newcastle.
So, there’s all these aspects of it, but he’s probably looked at Newcastle and thought, ‘We got rid of Gordon, we got rid of Tonali, where’s the team going here?’ And he’s probably thought the writing’s on the wall and to get a club like Arsenal come for him, he’s probably thinking, ‘I’ve got to take this chance’.”
