Arsenal midfielder Matteo Guendouzi is at the centre of an international tug-of-war.

The Gunners parted with just £7million to Lorient to snare the midfielder, but he has started each of their first four Premier League fixtures this season.

Guendouzi was born in France and has represented Les Bleus at Under-18, U19 and U20 level. He is however yet to make a senior appearance.

But the Mirror says Morocco are looking to try an entice Guendouzi.

The 19-year-old's father is Moroccan, and as he hasn't played for France at senior level yet, is eligible to turn out for the African nation.

Morocco boss Herve Renard is set to travel to London this week for a chat with the Arsenal man.
