Arsenal midfielder Guendouzi on Marseille move: I knew I'd be asked about PSG

Arsenal midfielder Matteo Guendouzi is delighted with the way he's been welcomed by Olympique Marseille fans.

Guendouzi is on-loan at OM from Arsenal and admits he had concerns when first arriving due to his PSG past.

He told Onze Mundial: "Before signing, I knew that they were going to make a remark to me about my time at PSG. I knew they were going to talk to me about this.

"You know, I was born in Poissy and I grew up in Saint-Germain-en-Laye. When you are a child, you take your license in the club in the city where you live. And in my city, it was PSG. So I logically signed for PSG because it was the club in my city.

"I was asked about this. So yes, I did my classes at PSG. But today, I am at Olympique de Marseille, in the biggest French club, and I am very happy."
