In 2018, Guendouzi joined Arsenal as the Gunners embarked on a new project under Unai Emery, who had replaced Arsene Wenger at the time. However, his time at the Emirates came to a premature end due to disciplinary reasons. The 24-year-old midfielder had loan spells with Hertha Berlin and Marseille, before joining the Ligue 1 side permanently last year.
