Arsenal are set to receive a transfer windfall as former midfielder Matteo Guendouzi prepares to join Aston Villa from Marseille.
Having received his first call-up to the France international side last season, the midfielder has gone from strength to strength and made his France international debut in 2021 as he appeared for Les Bleus in a World Cup qualifier against Finland. The 23-year-old then revelled in fulfilling his "dream" of scoring for the international side against South Africa in March last year.
The player earned high praise from his previous Marseille boss Jorge Sampaoli last season as the Argentine boss claimed that the midfielder was a "natural leader" in his side. That led to the Ligue 1 club making his loan deal a permanent one last summer.
