Arsenal have kicked off talks with Lyon for Bruno Guimaraes.
The Gunners were keen on signing the 24-year-old in the 2020 winter transfer window with Mikel Arteta and technical director huge admirers of him.
But the player opted to link up with Ligue 1 outfit Lyon instead in a deal worth up to £25million.
Bruno was mooted as a possible summer signing for the North Londoners, however the transfer never materialised.
According to transfer guru Nicolo Schira, Arsenal have entered negotiations with the French outfit as Edu desperately tries to lure his compatriot to England.
He tweeted: "Arsenal are really interested in Lyon midfielder Bruno Guimaraes. Edu loves him and has opened talks to try to sign him."
Schira added: "Let's see what happens. In the transfer market all the players have a price.
"It's not a simple deal for Arsenal, but Edu is working and - if arrives an important bid - Aulas could sell Bruno Guimaraes."
Brazilian news outlet Globo have suggested that Lyon would be willing to part ways with the player should they receive a fee in the region of £38million.
