Matteo Guendouzi’s former Lorient manager Mickael Landreau has revealed that the midfielder was ‘a pain’ to coach.
It is well known Guendouzi was loaned to Hertha Berlin over issues at Arsenal regarding his attitude problem.
Landreau told Canal+: “I think he needs to be in the spotlight, to be a leader. He needs to be a captain or vice-captain, and he will try to make the most of it.
“Because that’s the way he is. And that means that his teammates have to accept him the way he is, because he’s a pain on a daily basis.
“He’s a pain on a daily basis, but on the other hand, he’s talented.”
Former Arsenal forward Kevin Campbell has backed these claims, saying he does not imagine Guendouzi having a future at Arsenal.
He told Football Insider: “I do not think he will play for Arsenal again.
“He doesn’t have a future at Arsenal. Mikel Arteta put him in detention after the Brighton game last season, that is what it was – detention.
“A manager like Arteta wants to see that you can toe the line, take your punishment, keep your trap shut and get working. Guendouzi could not do it.
However, Hertha Berlin manager Michel Preetz begs to differ. He has stated that the Arsenal midfielder has added to the club in a positive way.
Sporting director Preetz told German outlet Kicker: “Three months ago, Matteo’s loan signing wasn’t possible, but it was at the beginning of October.
“We are happy that he is here and that he enriched our game from the start.
“We’ll see everything else next summer. How the prices will develop by then and what Arsenal are planning then, nobody can say today.”
