However, when Mikel Arteta first took charge at Arsenal, the youngster got plenty of playing time.
This was just so it was Accused From several Brighton stars mocking over finances during a meeting in June of 2020. Guendouzi, in contrast, was not given a single appearance during the final months of the belated 2019/20 campaign.
