REVEALED: Mikel Arteta is ready to sell Matteo Guendouzi after midfielder taunted 's***' Brighton players over wages and grabbed Neal Maupay by the throat... months after boss caught him doing 'silly dances' in training

Mikel Arteta is open to offloading Matteo Guendouzi with frustration mounting over the midfielder's antics – including catching him on camera acting up during training.

Arteta's patience is being tested by Guendouzi who clashed with match-winner Neal Maupay following Arsenal's defeat at Brighton on Saturday. Maupay accused his countryman of lacking humility for things he said during the game at The Amex.

Sportsmail revealed yesterday that among the words exchanged were taunts from Guendouzi about how much he and Arsenal's players earned compared to Brighton's.

The incident is the latest that has led to questions about Guendouzi's attitude, a situation that Arteta, who is demanding high behavioural standards as he bids to change the culture at Arsenal, has privately been left unimpressed by.
