Olympique Marseille coach Jorge Sampaoli has again sung the praises of Matteo Guendouzi.

The midfielder's loan from Arsenal will be turned into a permanent deal this summer.

Sampaoli said, "He always wants to win, but beyond that, he has above all taken on a great capacity in the game which allows us to have a good evolution on the field.

"He sets the pace of our game. He is a player who will continue to grow. He's a key player for us."

Guendouzi will sign permanently for €11m.
