Arsenal could be set to pocket a small fee if Matteo Guendouzi leaves Marseille in the transfer window.
Guendouzi endured a rollercoaster four years with the north Londoners before joining the Ligue 1 side on a permanent basis last summer after falling out with Gunners boss Mikel Arteta. Many people had theorised that the Frenchman's on-pitch spat with former Brighton striker Neal Maupay back in June 2020 was the straw that broke the camel's back in terms of his Arsenal departure but the young midfielder has since claimed that this was not the case.
Speaking about the clash with Maupay to beIN Sports, as relayed by Goal France, he said: "Journalists used this excuse to say that we had a bad relationship and that's why I stopped playing and left Arsenal. Not at all. It’s a gesture like many on the pitch.
