Arsenal to offer Matteo Guendouzi new contract?

Arsenal are reportedly ready to hand a new contract to midfielder Matteo Guendouzi.

The France Under-21 international joined the Gunners from Lorient in last summer's transfer window.

A regular for the London club this term, the 20-year-old has made 47 appearances in all competitions and only missed five of the side's 38 Premier League games during the 2018-19 campaign.

Guendouzi still has three years to run on his £40,000-a-week contract at the Emirates Stadium, but according to The Sun, the Gunners want to hand him a new deal which will almost double his wages to £75,000 a week.

Arsenal ended the season in fifth position in the Premier League table, but they can still qualify for next season's Champions League by winning the Europa League, with Unai Emery's side due to face capital rivals Chelsea in the final on May 29.
