Arsenal midfielder Matteo Guendouzi insists Olympique Marseille's end of season finish won't influence his decision-making.

Guendouzi has long declared he wants to sign permanently with OM at the end of his loan.

Asked if staying would hinge on Champions League football, the midfielder said: "Not at all, it is long-term at OM, it's not just a one-year loan.

"I don't get it into my head that we're not going to play the Champions League next year. When I have a goal, I really want to achieve it.

"I have confidence in myself, in us and in the club to achieve this. Whether we qualify or not will not change my wish: to stay at OM.“
