00:00:00.280 --> 00:00:04.400
<v Speaker 1>Arsenal have officially completed the blockbuster signing of Brazil international

2
00:00:04.400 --> 00:00:09.000
<v Speaker 1>midfielder Bruno Gamaraz from Newcastle United for a straight transfer

3
00:00:09.080 --> 00:00:12.800
<v Speaker 1>fee of seventy five million pounds. The twenty eight year

4
00:00:12.880 --> 00:00:15.960
<v Speaker 1>old former Newcastle captain has put pen to paper on

5
00:00:16.039 --> 00:00:19.719
<v Speaker 1>a four year contract at the Emirates Stadium, which incorporates

6
00:00:19.719 --> 00:00:22.800
<v Speaker 1>an option for an additional year extending through June twenty

7
00:00:22.839 --> 00:00:27.359
<v Speaker 1>thirty one. The landmark move concludes weeks of intensive negotiations

8
00:00:27.359 --> 00:00:31.320
<v Speaker 1>between the two Premier League clubs, with Arsenal meeting Newcastle's

9
00:00:31.399 --> 00:00:36.679
<v Speaker 1>revised valuation after an opening proposal was initially rebuffed. Gamarz

10
00:00:36.759 --> 00:00:41.119
<v Speaker 1>completed his physical medical examinations in London before being unveiled

11
00:00:41.159 --> 00:00:44.960
<v Speaker 1>by the Gunners as Michel Artaeda's newest marquee summer edition.

12
00:00:45.560 --> 00:00:48.719
<v Speaker 1>The transfer marks a major turning point for both clubs

13
00:00:48.840 --> 00:00:52.920
<v Speaker 1>following an emotional exit request from the player. Having served

14
00:00:52.960 --> 00:00:57.079
<v Speaker 1>as Newcastle's talismanic leader and captaining the club to Caabau

15
00:00:57.119 --> 00:01:02.200
<v Speaker 1>Cup glory, Gamaras directly informed and newly appointed manager Matthias

16
00:01:02.320 --> 00:01:05.799
<v Speaker 1>Jason and sporting director Ross Wilson that he needed a

17
00:01:05.840 --> 00:01:09.879
<v Speaker 1>fresh challenge in his career. While Newcastle had no initial

18
00:01:09.879 --> 00:01:13.280
<v Speaker 1>intention of parting ways with their star midfielder, the club

19
00:01:13.359 --> 00:01:17.480
<v Speaker 1>hierarchy reluctantly sanctioned the sale after recognizing the player's firm

20
00:01:17.560 --> 00:01:21.560
<v Speaker 1>desire to join North London. The seventy five million pound

21
00:01:21.560 --> 00:01:26.560
<v Speaker 1>fee represents significant financial satisfaction for the Magpies, nearly doubling

22
00:01:26.599 --> 00:01:29.879
<v Speaker 1>the thirty eight million pounds they originally paid Lion in

23
00:01:29.959 --> 00:01:33.840
<v Speaker 1>January twenty twenty two, though former club Lion will claim

24
00:01:33.879 --> 00:01:37.159
<v Speaker 1>a seven million pound windfall via a twenty percent profit

25
00:01:37.280 --> 00:01:41.640
<v Speaker 1>sellon clause for Mickel Artata and sporting director Andrea Berta.

26
00:01:42.040 --> 00:01:46.599
<v Speaker 1>Securing Gamaraz provides world class quality and tactical versatility to

27
00:01:46.760 --> 00:01:50.799
<v Speaker 1>Arsenal's midfield engine room, Capable of operating as a deep

28
00:01:50.879 --> 00:01:54.319
<v Speaker 1>line playmaker or a dynamic box to box presence. The

29
00:01:54.359 --> 00:01:58.519
<v Speaker 1>Brazilian recorded thirty goals and twenty six assists across one

30
00:01:58.640 --> 00:02:02.319
<v Speaker 1>hundred fifty three appearance for Newcastle. He now joins an

31
00:02:02.319 --> 00:02:07.159
