'Guendouzi needs to grow up' - Arsenal star warned over future behaviour

Former Gunners striker Jeremie Aliadiere says his French compatriot must mature off the pitch if he wants to have long-term success under Mikel Arteta

Jeremie Aliadiere has warned Matteo Guendouzi that he must "grow up" as a human being or risk throwing away his Arsenal career.

Aliadiere was playing for Lorient when Guendouzi was coming through the French club’s academy and grew close to the midfielder, even advising him to make his move to Arsenal in 2018.

So he has watched the 21-year-old’s development with interest during the past two seasons, and despite being impressed by what his friend has done on the pitch, he admits he still has some real concerns over how he is conducting himself of it.
