Matteo Guendouzi has made a switch to Hertha Berlin.

Arsenal anchorman Matteo Guendouzi has made a switch to Bundesliga side Hertha Berlin on season-long loan deal. The 21-year-old Frenchman hasn’t played for Mikel Arteta’s side since a 2-1 loss to Brighton in June, during which he was involved in a fracas with Neal Maupay. The Frenchman has joined the Gunners from Ligue 1 outfits Lorient back in 2018, having started his career in the academy of PSG. He has played 82 games for the North London club, however, has not been in the matchday squad this campaign. He featured regularly under head-coach Unai Emery in his debut campaign back in 2018-19, playing in 33 of the Gunners 38 Premier League games. He was also a regular fixture in the side for the first half of last campaign, however, featured far less following the appointment of Mikel Arteta back in December 2019. In the game at Brighton – the Gunners second following the post-lockdown restart – he had to be pulled away from Maupay during a confrontation between both sets of play...

Arsenal Focus - Wenger looking to add M’Vila to his midfield options

By Bradley King Friday 24 August 2012 With Alex Song's departure to Barcelona confirmed, a place has opened up for a central midfielder in the Arsenal squad for the current season. An inventive individual looks to be top of Arsene Wenger's shopping list. Speaking after the Gunners' frustrating 0-0 stalemate with Sunderland at the Emirates Stadium last weekend, Wenger told BBC Sport: "We played with good spirit but we lacked a bit of overall creativity and the few chances we created we couldn't take. Our balance wasn't completely right, and our passing wasn't quick enough but that will come." The Mackems sat extremely deep on Saturday and made it difficult for Arsenal to find gaps in their unyielding backline, despite the best efforts of Santi Cazorla who showed great promise on his full debut for the club. Parking of the proverbial bus is likely to be commonplace at the Emirates Stadium this season, which looks to have persuaded Wenger that a...

Arsenal Keen On Dutch International Left-Back Jetro Willems

Image
Emirates Stadium side keen on PSV Eindhoven teenager. Arsenal are reportedly running the rule over young Dutch international Jetro Willems as Arsene Wenger looks to ably add strength in depth to the left side of the Gunners defence. The teenage PSV Eindhoven starlet was part of Bert Van Marwijk’s Euro 2012 squad and is a player who has shown a great deal of potential since his move to the Philips Stadion in the summer of 2011. Willems has been a regular in Dick Advocaat’s PSV starting line-up this term, helping his side to an excellent start to the Eredivisie campaign where they sit just a point off leaders FC Twente. Wenger has seen Andre Santos produce a series of poor displays and the furore that followed his request for Robin Van Persie’s Man United shirt last weekend led to the Brazilian being dropped for the Champions League encounter with Schalke. Young England international Kieran Gibbs has impressed when called upon to fill the left-back slot but has suffe...
