Do Not Sell My Personal Information
Matteo Guendouzi has vowed to commit to France at international level, despite Morocco wishing to select him.
The midfielder moved to the Gunners from Lorient for £7million in the summer and was relatively unknown to fans in north London.
However, supporters have quickly taken to the Frenchman, thanks to his forward-thinking mentality and youthful exuberance.
Guendouzi would qualify to play for Morocco through his father but insists his dream is to play for France, who he currently represents at Under-21 level.
He told Canal+ after his second outing against Spain: “Since I was young, I’ve always played with the French teams.
“It’s a dream to play with the France senior team. And I’m hoping to get there, it’s a dream for me to make it happen.”
Morocco have not given up on Guendouzi, with French-born coach Herve Renard having arranged to meet with the player’s father to discuss his plans.
Gooners, should Guendouzi be a regular in the Premier League or are Granit Xhaka and Lucas Torreira the right two to anchor? Let us know in the comments…
