Guendouzi agrees to personal terms with Marseille

By Saheed Afolabi

Arsenal midfielder, Matteo Guendouzi, has reportedly agreed to personal terms with French Ligue 1 side, Olympique de Marseille.

The 22 years old player spent the entire 2020/2021 season on loan at Bundesliga side Hertha Berlin.

Marseille is now believed to be holding talks with Arsenal regarding the transfer fee of Guendouzi.

Guendouzi has not played under Mikel Arteta since his team’s 2-1 defeat to Brighton 12 months ago.

The midfielder grabbed Neal Maupay’s throat during the match and is not believed to have made a great impression with the manager after being called into a meeting to discuss his antics.

He was then reportedly involved in a bust-up with David Luiz at a Dubai retreat after the experienced defender told the youngster to ‘grow up.

Guendouzi was subsequently removed from the first-team squad, missing Arsenal’s FA Cup final victory.
