Bruno Guimaraes has enjoyed a positive start to life in an Arsenal shirt since joining the club in the last transfer window, but their most recent match against Brighton exposed some of the challenges he still faces and showed that he needs time to fully adapt.Mikel Arteta knew how dangerous the Seagulls can be, and he decided to start Guimaraes against them as Arsenal looked to secure a win, leaving Myles Lewis-Skelly on the bench.It proved to be a difficult day at the office for Guimaraes, as he failed to produce the level of performance that Arsenal supporters had become accustomed to seeing from him in his previous matches.However, there is no doubt that he remains one of the best players in the team, and the midfielder understands that it will take time for him to become accustomed to his new surroundings and begin performing at his optimum level.Guimaraes acknowledges Arsenal adaptationThe midfielder knew he was taking on a bigger challenge when he agreed to join the Gunners from Newcastle United. As he begins his career at the Emirates, he has acknowledged that adapting to a new team will require patience.Guimaraes has made a promising start since arriving at Arsenal, but his comments suggest that he understands the importance of allowing himself time to settle into his new environment and responsibilities.Speaking about his start at the club, Guimaraes tells UOL:“Now I begin my journey at Arsenal, starting well, on the right foot. It’s a new responsibility, and I really wanted to take this step.
