Arsenal outcast Matteo Guendouzi admits their failure to qualify for Europe 'hurts deeply' - despite his exile on loan at Hertha Berlin - and claims the Gunners 'deserve to be in the Champions League EVERY year'

Arsenal outcast Matteo Guendouzi has admitted he is deeply affected by the club's recent slump down the Premier League table, despite being frozen out of the first team.

The Gunners suffered their worst league campaign since 1995 after finishing eighth last term, meaning they will not be playing in any European competition for the first time in 25 years.

Guendouzi though was not part of the squad that struggled under Mikel Arteta having been sent out on loan to Hertha Berlin after been banished from the first team following rows with the Gunners boss.
