In the autumn of 2019, Matteo Guendouzi was on cloud nine. A popular figure in the Arsenal team, nominated for the FIFA Golden Boy Award and handed his first senior France call-up, the midfielder was onto big things.
How times have changed for the 22-year-old, who has been spat out by the Gunners after 12 months of turmoil at the Emirates Stadium.
The midfielder sealed a move back to Marseille on Tuesday on a loan move with an obligation to buy for the French side, after Guendouzi had confirmed his exit from the club on social media this week.
