Arsenal Set to Sign Talented Lorient Midfielder With Medical Due on Monday Ahead of €8m Move

Arsenal are in talks over a move for Lorient midfielder Matteo Guendouzi.

The 19-year-old Frenchman played 17 games in Ligue 1 last season, having been promoted to the first team in 2016 from the club's 'B' side. His performances appear to have caught the eye of Arsenals head of recruitment, Sven Mislintat, and his colleagues at the Emirates Stadium.

According to Sky Sports News, Arsenal are now 'in talks' to sign the youngster, who has been capped by France at Under-18, Under-19 and Under-20 levels.

Further information from the well-informed Mohamed Toubache-Ter reveals that an agreement has already been made, with Guendouzi set to move to north London for a fee of €8m plus add-ons.
