ARTETA'S FALLOUT: RéGIS LE BRIS WANTS MATTéO GUENDOUZI DESPITE PAST ATTITUDE ISSUES
Head Coach Régis Le Bris has contacted Lazio regarding a €25M January move for Mattéo Guendouzi, a player he previously coached at Lorient.
Régis Le Bris, the head coach for a Premier League team, first mentioned bringing back French player Guendouzi last month. They had worked together before at Lorient. Journalist Sacha Tavolieri is reporting that the team has now formally contacted Lazio about a possible deal in January.
Le Bris said in November, I worked with him at Lorient, so we keep in touch. Right now, it's too early to talk about any transfer in January, when he was initially asked about Guendouzi.
Guendouzi, who is now 26, moved to Lazio in Italy after leaving Marseille. Before that, he played 103 games for Marseille after being initially loaned from Arsenal. This season, he has played 13 times in Serie A and scored twice. Lazio values him at around €25m.
His value was once at £45m when Unai Emery was his coach at Arsenal. But it dropped quickly after Arteta took over.
After arriving in London, Guendouzi played 48 games in his first season and played in every league game during Emery’s second season. But once Arteta became coach in December 2019, his role decreased. He only played a full 90 minutes three times under Arteta and was left out of the squad for the final eight league games of the season.
The breaking point happened in June 2020 at Brighton after Arsenal lost 2-1. Guendouzi argued with Neal Maupay after the game and was accused of taunting Brighton players about their salaries, though this was never officially proven.
A source at the Daily Mail said, He was saying the Brighton players were rubbish and that he and his teammates earn much more than they ever will. Arsenal is a good club and doesn't like that kind of behavior.
There had already been some tension. David Ornstein reported that there was an argument during training in Dubai, which led to Guendouzi being disciplined by Arteta and Edu. His behavior off the field was also questioned.
He never played for Arsenal again.
Arteta often spoke about his strict standards, and Guendouzi’s attitude towards authority had been questioned before in France. Jérémie Aliadière, a former Arsenal and Lorient player, told Le Télégramme, After my last season in Lorient, when he started training and playing with us, I wondered about his attitude. I thought he might need to change a bit.
His loan to Hertha Berlin also got mixed reviews. The coach at the time, Pál Dárdai, said, It's like he's going through puberty; he's a bit of a rebel. He needs to work hard and learn. But Hertha's sporting director, Arne Friedrich, praised his attitude: He's a great player. He’s very calm. He wants the ball all the time, even when he’s under pressure.
Guendouzi later admitted that he made mistakes while working with Arteta, but he doesn't regret his time in England. He told The Athletic, I didn’t work with Arteta much, only for six months. I was 19, so I was learning every day. I wouldn’t make the same mistakes now that I did when I was 19.
He added, I don't regret anything I did at Arsenal. I was 19, and I played 85 games in two years. That's a lot of games for a big club like Arsenal.
MICHAEL OWEN DECLARES PREMIER LEAGUE "NEARLY WRAPPED UP" FOR LEADERS ARSENAL
Michael Owen tells talkSPORT that Arsenal have "wrapped up" the Premier League title, sitting six points clear with 14 games left.
Michael Owen says Arsenal has basically wrapped up the league.
Right now, Mikel Arteta’s team sits six points clear at the top of the Premier League. Fourteen games left, but they’re determined not to trip up like they did in the past. Three years in a row, they finished second—always just missing out on Manchester City or Liverpool. Remember that eight-point lead they blew to City in 2022/23? That one really stung, especially since City went on to win everything: the league, the Champions League, and the Carabao Cup.
On Wednesday morning, Owen—yeah, the former United and Liverpool striker—went on talkSPORT and talked about how easy Arsenal has it this season. “I don’t think anyone’s good enough to compete with them this year,” he said. “Even though I don’t think the points total will be that high.” He figured only Liverpool or City had a shot at the start of the season, but both have fallen off. So, in Owen’s mind, Arsenal has pretty much been handed the title. “Nobody’s put much pressure on them,” he said. “The league is nearly wrapped up.”
And Arsenal just beat Chelsea 1-0 at the Emirates in the Carabao Cup (4-2 on aggregate), so now they’re one win away from silverware—it would be their first trophy under Arteta since that FA Cup back in 2020.
Owen already thinks Arsenal will be champions this year, and he’s backing them for the League Cup too. “I think they could win the Carabao Cup, absolutely,” he said. “But the other two trophies are going to be tough.”
The Gunners are still chasing the quadruple. They topped their Champions League group, knocked Portsmouth out of the FA Cup, and haven’t lost in Europe—getting some big wins over Atletico Madrid, Inter Milan, and Bayern Munich along the way.
Owen, who’s got a Ballon d’Or to his name, thinks Arsenal will face stiffer competition outside England. “Everyone else will be focusing on the FA Cup now, since the league’s pretty much over,” he said. “It’s the only thing that can save their season, so clubs will put out strong teams.” Then there’s the Champions League, which feels wide open this year.
Alan Brazil from talkSPORT asked Owen if Arsenal could actually win all four trophies. Owen shot that down. “No, I don’t think so,” he replied. “But they’re special, a really strong, efficient side.”
ASTON VILLA VALUE MORGAN ROGERS AT £100M+ AS LIVERPOOL AND CHELSEA CIRCLE
Aston Villa face a fight to keep £100m-rated Morgan Rogers as Liverpool and Chelsea circle the England star for a summer move.
Aston Villa really wants to hang on to Morgan Rogers, but that’s going to be tough this summer. There’s serious money on the table, and both Liverpool and Chelsea can’t seem to take their eyes off him. One journalist even called Rogers “a joy to watch.”
Rogers is only 23, but he’s come a long way fast. Villa picked him up from Middlesbrough just over two years ago for an initial £8 million, which doubled when you count the add-ons. At the time, not everyone was convinced—he came in without much fuss, just another Manchester City academy kid trying to make his mark. But look at him now: one of the best signings Villa’s made in years, his value through the roof, and you’d be hard-pressed to find a starting lineup without his name for either club or country.
Villa now rates him at more than £100 million, and the whole “big six” wants him. He even landed a new contract in November, tying him to Villa until June 2031. But even with that deal, Mark Carey from The Athletic thinks Villa will have their hands full trying to keep him. Rogers isn’t just playing well under Unai Emery—he’s on fire, and with the World Cup coming up, his profile’s only getting bigger.
Nine goals and seven assists from 34 games this season say it all. That’s why the top clubs keep circling. Liverpool and Chelsea are both sniffing around, and if Chelsea loses Cole Palmer, they’ll be even more desperate. Carey says teams in England and abroad won’t be scared off by Villa’s tough stance or Rogers’ long contract.
Carey’s pretty blunt: Villa’s resolve is about to face its biggest test yet. He says it’ll be interesting to see how the club reacts, especially if they miss out on the Champions League for 2026/27.
So why is Rogers worth more than £100 million now? Carey points to the long contract as a bit of a safety net for Villa, but Rogers’ progress is off the charts. He’s that good—“a joy to watch,” in Carey’s words—and honestly, there’s no ceiling to how far he can go.
You could see this coming even last September. Transfer insider Dean Jones already knew Villa rated Rogers highly and figured he could be the club’s next £100m man after Jack Grealish. Jones said people close to Villa believed Rogers would hit that price by the January window, but selling him mid-season wasn’t really on the table. If Rogers kept playing like this, Jones said, the £100m tag would stick by next summer—especially with that long contract.
Jones summed it up: Rogers has become one of the most exciting attackers in the Premier League, and Villa is determined to keep him. Last summer, insiders said Villa internally priced him at £80 million and made it clear he wasn’t for sale.
But if Mark Carey’s right and Villa’s resolve gets pushed this summer, they won't settle for less than what Man City paid for Grealish (£100 million). Honestly, with the way things are going, they might even demand the kind of money Liverpool shelled out for Florian Wirtz—around £116 million.
