Ex-Arsenal boss Wenger admits he's a Guendouzi fan

Former Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger admits he's a fan of Matteo Guendouzi.

The Gunners snapped up the midfielder from Lorient just weeks after Wenger's departure.

Wenger told arsenal.com: "He looks to be a good potential. I think there are many other players who have fantastic potential, who played already with me, like Joe Willock and you have Reiss Nelson. You have many players who come out and have a big potential and Guendouzi is one of them.

"It's part of our DNA at Arsenal. It has always been part of it, to give a chance. I think when you are manager and you can give a chance to a young boy, it's always fantastic. And when they can play at such a high level like Arsenal, it's even better."
