Just six months after leaving Arsenal permanently, Matteo Guendouzi has been offered the chance to return to the Premier League, that an unnamed club has made an approach for the Frenchman.

It was no surprise to see Guendouzi leave the Emirates. He spent last season on loan at Stade Velodrome, and the year before with Hertha Berlin in the Bundesliga.

Of course, his spells out on loan came about after he fell over of favour under Mikel Arteta. He did not play for the club again after that game against Brighton when the Premier League season restarted in 2020.

He has played 22 times in all competitions for Marseille. And he was a part of the France squad which reached the World Cup final in Qatar at the end of last year.

Arsenal fans will have understood why Arteta allowed Guendouzi to leave. Perhaps there could be criticism of the fact that they let him go for just . He obviously has the potential to be worth a lot more.

However, Arteta has put together a brilliant squad which buys into what he wants. So he has been vindicated for almost every decision he has made at the helm – including letting Guendouzi go.
