A lubrication arrangement directs lubricant into an axial bore of a shaft rotating in a rotational direction around a rotational axis in a transmission system of a vehicle. The lubrication arrangement has a cup-shaped housing having an axially directed inner surface facing an end of the shaft and a radially directed inner surface facing a radially directed outer surface of the shaft; and a lubricant guide arranged between the axially directed inner surface of the housing and the end of the shaft and configured to guide lubricant impinging on the lubricant guide into the axial bore at the end of the shaft. The radially directed inner surface of the housing has a flow redirecting structure configured to guide lubricant impinging in a radial direction on the flow redirecting structure axially towards the lubricant guide.
