Matteo Guendouzi and Mikel Arteta is hardly a match made in heaven. The actions and consequences of the past three years are enough evidence of this as the French midfielder saw his Arsenal career ended prematurely by the Gunners manager.
Arsenal sold Guendouzi to Marseille after agreeing on a loan with a buy clause inserted into the deal valued at less than £10 million. Guendouzi featured for Arteta during the opening months of his tenure but a combination of incidents with his coach eventually led to his exile.
