Matteo Guendouzi 'has been EXILED from Arsenal first-team training since Brighton defeat with Mikel Arteta furious at midfielder's attitude, as Gunners plot to sell hot-headed Frenchman this summer'

Mikel Arteta promised ruthlessness when he joined Arsenal and Matteo Guendouzi has been treated to nothing less, being forced to train alone as the Gunners look to sell the midfielder, according to reports.

The 21-year-old has earned a reputation as a hot-head after a number of incidents, the most recent a throat-grab on Brighton match winner Neal Maupay after the Gunners' sorry 2-1 defeat to the south-coast side in June.

Guendouzi avoided a ban from the FA but did not escape Arteta's wrath, with the Spaniard less than impressed with his attitude - dropping the midfielder for every match since.
