Arsenal to offer Matteo Guendouzi new long-term deal – and a substantial wage increase

Matteo Guendouzi

Arsenal are ready to offer Matteo Guendouzi a new five-year contract, according to the Daily Mail.

The Frenchman moved to the Emirates Stadium from Lorient for just £7.2m last summer.

The 20-year-old's current contract runs until 2022, with Guendouzi earning around £35,000.

Arsenal are prepared to double his wages if the youngster commits his future to the club, says the report.
