In a recent interview with The Athletic, Stuttgart sporting director Sven Mislintat said that he would like to hold talks with Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta over the handling of Lucas Torreira and Matteo Guendouzi.
Mislintat was the Gunners’ head of recruitment for a 14-month spell between 2018 and 2019 and during this period, he brought the likes of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Henrikh Mkhitaryan, Sokratis, Guendouzi and Torreira to the club.
Among the above-mentioned players, only Aubameyang has established himself with the the north London giants. Mkhitaryan and Sokratis have already left the club while Torreira and Guendouzi are on loan at Atletico Madrid and Hertha Berlin respectively.
