Guendouzi has earned rave reviews since arriving at Arsenal from Lorient in July 2018 and it seems as though his stock rises with every passing week.

The 20-year-old has set high standards for himself with the level of his performances but seems to be unfazed by the expectations, despite playing amidst players with much more experience than him.
Guendouzi is pretty much a guaranteed starter these days and he was one of the stand-out players in the game against Bournemouth.
The French U-21 international was deployed on the left of a midfield three alongside Grant Xhaka and Dani Ceballos and he outperformed both men with his displays in the middle of the park.
His defensive contributions were invaluable, as he made two tackles and three clearances, while he also made one key pass and had a pretty impressive passing accuracy of 80.8%.
