Arsenal’s regret at the decision to let Matteo Guendouzi leave is continuing to grow as the midfielder again shined for France on Monday night.
The former Gunner started and played a full 90 minutes for the World Cup winners as they drew 1-1 with Croatia. After a turbulent spell at the Emirates, the midfielder joined Marseille on a loan last season, with a lowly buy option attached to the deal. The same has since been activated.
Although the permanent transfer was a worthy reward for a fine campaign from the 23-year-old, his displays both in France and for his national side have left some Gunners fans wondering whether Mikel Arteta made the right call in allowing him to leave.
