Morning all. Let’s start with news that emerged via David Ornstein yesterday that Bruno Guimaraes has told Newcastle he wants to leave this summer to join Arsenal. We’ve known since last month that we’ve had a real interest in the Brazilian midfielder, and this is part of how this deal might happen if it goes ahead.

Moses Itauma respects Filip Hrgovic’s accomplishments, but he doesn’t believe the Croatian’s recent victories over David Adeleye, Dave Allen and Joe Joyce will prepare him for what he’ll face when they meet on August 29 at the O2 Arena in London. The unbeaten heavyweight made it clear that while Hrgovic’s record deserves recognition, he sees himself as a completely different challenge. “I respect you. You’ve done a lot in boxing. You’ve done a lot more than I have,” said Moses Itauma to Queensberry Promotions. “Those accolades won’t fight for you. I ain’t David Adeleye. I ain’t Dave Allen. I ain’t…

O’Neill has already confirmed he is looking to make several new additions to his squad this summer, despite just about getting over the line in last season’s title race, saying: “We have a number of players that we’re looking at. “We’ve had a number of offers in for players as well too at the same time. “And I’m hoping in the not-too-distant future, and I mean maybe in the next couple of weeks, that…
