TBR View: Permanent Guendouzi move works for all parties

It always seemed unlikely that Guendouzi – who earns £40,000-a-week, – would be able to force his way back into Arteta’s plans.

Their relationship seemed to break down completely at one stage last season. , the 22-year-old spent a spell training on his own.

So a permanent sale looks to be best for all concerned. Guendouzi can bring an end to any uncertainty and concentrate on his future with the Ligue 1 side.

Meanwhile, Arsenal will – presumably – receive a decent fee for a loanee that they can then use to help fund their own plans for the coming months.
