'Matteo is ambitious - he wants to be the best'

When Matteo Guendouzi arrived at the club in the summer of 2018, he immediately formed a close bond with Alex Lacazette.

Our French striker is a big fan of his younger compatriot, both on and off the pitch - and says he has all the qualities to reach the top.

"He is like the younger brother [in the friendship group with me and Auba]!" Lacazette told Arsenal.com. "We all really have a good relationship, we like to work and to laugh together so it’s really good.

"I’m really happy for Matteo [for being named September Player of the Month], he played really well, he helped the team when we needed him, he is really improving each season so we are all really happy with his performances this month.
