Guendouzi takes thinly vieled swipe at Arsenal fans: Marseille loves me!

Matteo Guendouzi says he has never been happier than with Marseille.

The France midfielder spent two years at Arsenal before joining Marseille in the summer.

And the 22-year-old says he has never received love from supporters like he has with Marseille.

He told the Mirror: "Before coming to OM [Marseille], I had a few choices. The speeches of Pablo Longoria, the president, and Sampaoli convinced me.

"I immediately said I want OM. It's the biggest French club, the one who has won the Champions League, there's a great history.

"There's the strongest crowd in the country, and maybe continent.

"I like playing in a full stadium when at home. I like to feel the true love from the fans for this club.

"That's what I found here. I haven't been this happy since the start of my career."
