Rabat – Mattéo Guendouzi is taking his career a step forward, playing for the “big league”. According to French outlet France Ouest, the 19-year-old French-Moroccan is moving to the first league, leaving his club FC Lorient for the huge English club Arsenal.
According to the same outlet, a medical visit is scheduled for next Monday. Guendouzi will also sign his four-year contract in London. However, the midfielder is still under contract until 2019 with the Merlus, which he is leaving for 8 million EUR.
Internationally ranked under 18, under 19, then under 20, the defensive midfielder with impressive skills was trained at PSG between 2005 and 2014 before continuing his training and becoming pro.
The French-Moroccan has evolved with second’s league French club since 2014. He has played 26 games with the professionals (8 in Ligue 1, 18 in Ligue 2).
As for his national career, Guendouzi has chosen not to wear the Moroccan jersey, opting for France instead. In 2017, he was called by the FRMF and Hervé Renard to join the national team.
Guendouzi’s father stood up the French coach who was supposed to meet him during his stay in Paris. Annoyed by this behavior, Hervé Renard decided, with Nasser Larguet, to move on.
