Matteo Guendouzi reveals it was his dream to don the Arsenal jersey.
The French youngster was brought in by Unai Emery in the summer and has played a pivotal role so far in this season. The teenager took very little time to adjust to the rugged nature of the Premier League and has been a regular in the middle of the pitch.
The midfielder has featured in 16 matches so far and has started in eleven of them. In the first couple of matches, Emery preferred the teenager alongside Granit Xhaka but the emergence of Lucas Torreira forced the youngster to watch a number of games from the dugouts.
The French midfielder opens up prior to their crucial clash against league leaders Liverpool. “I have always wanted to play here. This club was in my heart when I was in France, it was one of my favourite clubs.
“I watched Arsenal a lot because they had a lot of French players. I was too young when [Thierry] Henry and [Patrick] Vieira were playing so I was catching up on videos. They were always an inspiration to me.
“It’s a club I have loved since I was a kid and I have always wanted to come here and achieve great things with Arsenal and realise my dreams. I want to do that now I am here, I want to win trophies; that is the most important thing for me.”
“Liverpool are very solid defensively but I have so much confidence in my team-mates and the staff that I know we can win
“We have the weapons to win. It will be tough, but every game is tough, there’s three points on the table and I really believe we can get them. I am really confident that we can go there and get a win.
