When Arsenal signed Matteo Guendouzi last year, most expected him to be ‘one for the future’. Instead, he was chucked in at the deep end and made 33 Premier League appearances for the first team.

Signed on a four-year contract and costing Arsenal just £7.2m, he was an absolute steal.

According to this latest report [The S*n who got it from Soccerlink but didn’t link as usual], Arsenal will look to get Guendouzi to sign a new contract that practically doubles his wages from £45kpw to £75k.

The S*n also state he played 38 games in all competitions last season for Arsenal when in fact he played 48 [33 Premier League, 11 Europa League, 3 League Cup, 1 FA Cup].
