Two years after leaving the Emirates, Arsene Wenger is yet to lose the Arsenal inside him.
Asked about Guendouzi’s potential for both Arsenal and France, Wenger told Arsenal’s website: ‘He looks to be a good potential. ‘I think there are many other players who have fantastic potential, who played already with me, like Joe Willock and you have Reiss Nelson. ‘You have many players who come out and have a big potential and Guendouzi is one of them.’
On the youth emphasis at Arsenal, he continued: ‘It’s part of our DNA at Arsenal. It has always been part of it, to give a chance. ‘I think when you are a manager and you can give a chance to a young boy, it’s always fantastic. And when they can play at such a high level like Arsenal, it’s even better.’
Asked what it’s like watching Arsenal now, rather than managing the side, he added: ‘Ups and downs, like for every fan! I don’t judge too much, I just want Arsenal to win and play well. ‘For me winning is the consequence of the quality of the game, of the quality of the football you play. So I am more attentive to how the players develop, how the young players come up and how we play football.’
