Arsenal’s Midfielder Matteo Guendouzi has announced he will leave the Gunners in an emotional tweet.
Guendouzi spent last season on loan at Hertha Berlin in Germany after falling out of favour with Arsenal’s boss Mikel Arteta.
He is now closing in on a move to Marseille in his homeland of France having recently posed with a flag of the Ligue 1 side.
In confirming his exit from the Gunners, the 22-year-old central defender told fans in now-deleted tweets that:
"I will never forget the Emirates Stadium.
"I will never forget the fans. I won’t forget the city.
“I will never forget everything I’ve been through here.
"I will never forget that my only will was to defend with pride Arsenal colours.
"Thanks to all of those who believed in me during my time here, during the good and the bad moments.
"I can only wish the best to the club and its fans who deserve so much, trust me! Goodbye Arsenal, I will never forget and will be a gooner forever."
The midfielder is set to be joined by defender William Salib, who will join Marseille on loan. Guendouzi's Arsenal woes started when he grabbed Neal Maupay’s throat and sparked a brawl in June 2020 during their 2-1 loss.
He is said to have even boasted about earning more than the Seagulls striker and spent the remainder of the season benched.
