Arsenal midfielder Guendouzi: PSG background an issue for Marseille fans?

Arsenal midfielder Matteo Guendouzi insists he had no doubts about joining Olympique Marseille.

There were claims Guendouzi would have trouble with the OM support given his time as a junior with PSG.

But he told La Phoceen: "Difficult to sign for OM when I was trained at PSG? Already I was pre-trained at PSG, I played from 6 years old to 14 years old and then I did my training in Lorient.

"These are two things that are different. I played there when I was young because it was the club of my city. So no, it was not difficult at all, I am very happy to be with OM today, which is the biggest French club."

Guendouzi will sign permanently with OM at the end of the season.
