Arsenal star Matteo Guendouzi could be on the firing list this summer as Mikel Arteta reportedly begins to lose patience with the young Frenchman – and Real Madrid fans have reacted on Twitter.

Guendouzi, 21, has been accused of teasing Brighton players over their wages following Saturday’s 2-1 defeat to the Seagulls. Replays also showed the France Under-21 international throttling Brighton striker Neal Maupay.

The Mail claim those incidents are just two examples of a long list of issues that infuriated Arteta. Poor behaviour in Dubai during a winter training camp and childish behaviour during analysis have also left Arteta unimpressed.

The report states that Arteta is ready to cash in on the £7million midfielder, and since that report – that Real Madrid, Barcelona and Leicester City are all interested in Guendouzi.

Despite the reports, Guendouzi is expected to start for Arsenal in the coming weeks with Granit Xhaka and Lucas Torreira both sidelined through injury. He has a contract at Arsenal until the summer of 2022.

Real Madrid supporters reacted to the reported news that both La Liga sides wanted to sign the Arsenal midfielder in the coming months – but it fans of Zinedine Zidane’s side would rather their club looks elsewhere.

Zidane wants a national team

He isn't good enough for Real Madrid and even if he was, he seems like a trouble maker, similar to Rabiot. I'd rather get Camavinga or something.
