The Frenchman is often a warrior in the centre of the park and has revealed his martial arts training has helped to form his battling qualities
Arsenal’s Matteo Guendouzi has claimed participating in karate as youngster has helped to improve his football skills.
The 20-year-old’s father is a karate instructor and in a recent interview, the midfielder revealed the skills he learnt from the sport have given him a ‘warrior-like mentality’ on the pitch.
Guendouzi is not afraid of mixing it with some of the toughest players in the league, and has already earned three Premier League yellow cards this campaign, on top of the 12 he received in all competitions last year.
