Arsenal have completed their fifth signing of the summer with 19-year-old defensive midfielder Matteo Guendouzi joining from Ligue 2 side Lorient.
Unai Emery had already secured the services of Stephan Lichtsteiner , Bernd Leno and Sokratis Papastathopoulos , while the most recent signing of Uruguay star Lucas Torreira will also strengthen a previous area of weakness for the Spaniard’s side.
The Gunners will pay in the region of £7m plus bonuses for Guendouzi after head of recruitment Sven Mislintat recommended the player to Emery.
But what kind of player is he and why were the club so keen to sign him?
