Arsenal midfielder makes transfer request

Arsenal player Matteo Guendouzi has made a transfer request.

L'Equipe says that the French midfielder has made a verbal transfer demand as he seeks to leave before the market shuts.

Several clubs from Spain, France, and Italy are in contact with the player's agent.

The 21-year-old midfielder hasn't featured for Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta so far this season.

Last week, Spanian said, "Like any other player in the team, he has been training. It is a new season and we had some really positive talks between both parties, now Matteo is back with the group. He is training really well. he went with France under-21s last week and played well again. He is here."

On speculation about the 21-year-old midfielder being offered to European clubs, Pep Guardiola's former assistant coach said:

"I don't know and not going to discuss here what the things that happened internally. But I can tell you that, a lot of the things they have been writing are not true."
