'He's got to toe the line' - Guendouzi must act now to save Arsenal career, says Parlour

Ray Parlour says Matteo Guendouzi must ‘toe the line’ to avoid throwing away his Arsenal career.

The French midfielder was left out of Mikel Arteta’s matchday squad for a second successive game on Sunday when the Gunners booked their spot in the FA Cup semi-finals with a 2-1 win at Sheffield United.

His absence comes amid the fall-out from his clash with Neal Maupay following Arsenal’s defeat at Brighton on June 20, an incident which saw Guendouzi grab the Seagulls striker round the neck.
