Arsenal fans have already taken to new signing Matteo Guendouzi,

Yet their opinion of him may have just improved after learning of the two clubs the youngster turned down in favour of a move to the Emirates.

Guendouzi was thrown into the mixer on the opening day of the season. Despite Unai Emery being denied a dream start in the 2-0 defeat to Manchester City, Guendouzi’s performance was a huge positive to take from the game.

He didn’t have the most spectacular ball retention, but the 19 year-old never shied away from the ball and always tried to make things happen.

Released by Paris Saint-Germain four years ago, Football.London claim Ligue 1 champions were in fact interested in luring the player back to the French capital in the summer.

Borussia Dortmund were also keen on a deal, yet their loss is Arsenal’s gain.

The midfielder is expected to get another opportunity to impress when the Gunners take on Chelsea at Stamford Bridge this Saturday.

Gooners, what are your initial thoughts on Guendouzi? Let us know in the comments…
