Arsenal transfer target Pape Gueye shows Matteo Guendouzi love.
You will likely be aware by now that Arsenal have been strongly linked with a summer transfer swoop for exciting young Le Havre midfielder Pape Gueye.
In fact, Jeunes Footeux have gone in very strongly by saying we’re close to agreeing a £5million deal for the talented 21-year-old.
So fans may be interested to see Gueye is apparently a fan of fellow Frenchman Matteo Guendouzi – another player who recently played in Ligue 2 but who now finds himself in the Gunners’ first-team.
See below as Gueye reacts to Guendouzi’s Instagram post with clear enthusiasm…
It may be that the pair are friends away from the pitch, but you won’t be surprised to see this has caused quite a stir on social media.
See below for some tweets from excited Arsenal fans as they think Guendouzi may have worked his magic in the transfer market again, with another French youngster William Saliba confirming he convinced him to join the club, as quoted by the Evening Standard.

I don’t want to hear any of this Raul nonsense. Guendouzi is rebuilding Arsenal single-handedly himself. Francenal FC 🇫🇷

Guendouzi is a legend

I’m really excited about this. He looks like he has a heap of potential and also looks very athletic.
This is how we should be attacking the transfer market going forward. Finding gems before they become big names
Our new “assistant player manager”, Matteo Guendouzi! I like this young mans attitude a great deal. I saw straightaway when he started , his obvious passion and desire . Of course at our level all players need great talent too, but without true passion and desire no one has any chance to become a real Arsenal legend. Look at ALL our past legends and ask yourself if ANY AT ALL lacked these vital qualities! I do accept though , that what some regard as a legend, others, myself included, would never regard as such.
To be a legend you need to have Arsenal in your soul, with passion desire and talent. Guendouzi has the first two in spades and is working hard to improve the third. He will do for me, esp given his young age!
