Bruno Guimaraes Must Prove His Class At Arsenal – Dietmar Hamann

Dietmar Hamann has said that Bruno Guimaraes still has a level to reach before he can be considered truly elite. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.

Acknowledging the midfielder’s impact at Newcastle, Hamann revealed that he believes the move to north London represents the ultimate litmus test for the Brazilian.

Hamann added that Guimaraes still has work to do to justify his price tag and reputation.

His words, “Bruno has been a big player for Newcastle, and he’s been the captain as well, led the way, led from the front.

But we’ve seen him in the World Cup. I think part of some of the biggest issues for the Brazil team were in the middle of the park. I think he’s got to prove that he really is top class. It’s a huge fee, not as big as some of the others who left in the summer, like Sandro Tonali and Elliot Anderson.

What does he bring to Arsenal? Well, he can nick a goal. A very reliable player, always accountable. And I think they would want some goals because what they lacked last season was goals from open play. Arsenal relied on set pieces most of the time.

They’ve got some very good players in there with Declan Rice and a couple of others, but he’ll find his place. But I think what they want from him is getting a bit more adventurous from midfield. I think he can bring that for them, but to call him top class, I think, is a bit premature. He’s a very good player. To show he’s top class, I think he’s got to prove it now at Arsenal.”
