The young attacker could have been a Gunner just like his great grandfather, but opted to make the move to the Eredivisie first instead
PSV attacker Albert Gudmundsson has revealed his internal torment at turning down the chance to play for Arsenal to make his mark on the Eredivisie.
Gudmundsson’s great grandfather, also named Albert, played for Rangers, Arsenal and AC Milan in the 1940s, but the 20-year-old opted to move to Dutch side Heerenveen instead before earning a move to PSV rather than try his luck at the Emirates side.
The youngster had trials with the Gunners and Liverpool four years ago, but preferred a move to Netherlands and he has now revealed why he took the challenging decision to be patient – even if he does let himself dream of playing for Barcelona one.
