Hertha Berlin sporting director Arne Friedrich says that Matteo Guendouzi is "worth every penny" after joining on loan from Arsenal this summer following a recommendation from former Gunners star Per Mertesacker.
Guendouzi made the move to Germany in October, departing Arsenal on loan after a tumultuous summer that saw him relegated to the bench after a 2-1 defeat against Brighton back in June that included a post-game scuffle with Neal Maupay.
Paris Saint-Germain and Marseille had also made contact with the Gunners, but it was Hertha Berlin that won out as the only club that submitted an official bid for the France Under-21 international.
