Eddie Howe presumably won’t be reading this page for a while. Perhaps the now departed Newcastle boss will be seeking some beach time, looking out to sea and mentally preparing his audition for the England job while assistant Jason Tindall works on trying to be as quick over the first few yards as Anthony Barry.
The Magpies fly out to La Manga on Friday for a pre-season training camp and it remains to be seen if £75m Arsenal target, Bruno Guimarães , will turn up to the airport, meet them in Spain or send the lads a farewell on social media while house hunting in London.

What happened
The Guardian's daily transfer roundup highlights two key Premier League rumours. Newcastle United's Brazilian midfielder Bruno Guimarães has been linked with a potential move to Arsenal, though any deal would require a significant fee. Meanwhile, Newcastle are reportedly looking to reinforce their midfield with FC Copenhagen's Victor Froholdt. Both stories remain at the rumour stage with no official confirmation from any of the clubs involved.
Chance analysis
Both rumours reflect typical summer transfer window activity. Guimarães-to-Arsenal would be a major midfield statement signing, but Newcastle have little reason to sell their talismanic captain. The Froholdt link is more plausible in scale and fits Newcastle's recruitment profile of identifying undervalued European talent. For prediction systems, neither move should be treated as confirmed until official announcements.
If Guimarães joins Arsenal it would significantly strengthen their midfield, but the rumour has low probability; Froholdt-to-Newcastle would be a modest squad addition with limited immediate impact.
Treat both links as low-confidence rumours; do not adjust Arsenal or Newcastle projections until official confirmation.
