‘Embarrassing’, ‘absolute joke’: Some Arsenal fans shocked by what they’ve heard about Guendouzi

Arsenal are reportedly preparing to offload Matteo Guendouzi for a mere £13million.

And some Gunners fans really aren’t happy about how much the club is apparently willing to get for him.

According to , Guendouzi is closing in on a move to French outfit Marseille.

The 22-year-old has apparently reached agreement with the Ligue 1 club, who in turn remain in negotiations with Arsenal.

The French outlet also claims that the transfer fee likely involved is “under €15m”.

Guendouzi joined the Gunners in 2018 from Lorient for a reported £7million fee.

Arsenal would still be making a profit on the France Under-21 ace, but only a couple of million.

When you consider Guendouzi’s potential, they could potentially earn much more for him.

And some Arsenal fans are not pleased:

Guendouzi has made 82 appearances for Arsenal.

However, Mikel Arteta froze him out in wake of an incident against Brighton last summer.

Guendouzi grabbed Seagulls striker Neal Maupay by the throat towards the end of the Gunners’ Premier League defeat at the Amex Stadium.

That incident was apparently the last straw for Arteta, culminating in the player training alone and eventually leaving on loan.
