A report in France claims Matteo Guendouzi is winning over the Marseille fans but his attitude is likely to see him end up in trouble with opposition players.
The 22-year-old is currently on a season-long loan in the south of France after being frozen out by the Gunners. The former France Under-21 star joined Arsenal from Lorient in the summer of 2018. He made 23 starts among 33 Premier League outings during the 2018-2019 campaign.
The Frenchman’s game time fell to 24 league outings the following season while his suspect temperament began to raise its ugly head. Guendouzi was excluded from training and left out of match-day squads after a post-match altercation with Brighton’s Neal Maupay.
It was one of a number of incidents that led to his ‘attitude and general conduct’ being brought into question. Manager Mikel Arteta sent him out on loan to Bundesliga club Hertha Berlin.
The midfielder enjoyed 24 top-flight appearances, scoring twice for Die Alte Dame. Any thoughts of a reconciliation with Arteta were soon scuppered as the former Paris Saint-Germain youth star was loaned out again.
