Unai Emery has been hugely impressed by Matteo Guendouzi’s impact since his arrival last summer.
The 19-year-old joined us from Lorient and one of the first decisions he made after signing for the club impressed our head coach.
"The first impression of him is very good," Emery explained. "Since the first weeks in pre-season when he arrived here and started to train.
"For example, he made a very big decision because in the pre-season he decided that he did not play with his national team in the summer because he wanted to stay and work with us.
