Villa's interest in introducing Marseille midfielder Guendouzi remains undiminished, coach Unai Emery wants to bring him back to the Premier League
2023-04-22 12:45According to the French media L'Equipe, Aston Villa 's interest in introducing Ligue 1 Marseille's 24-year-old French midfielder Matteo Guendouzi this season has not diminished. The France international returns to the Premier League.
Moved to Marseille after playing for Arsenal
Guendouzi joined Arsenal from Ligue 1 Lorient for a transfer fee of £7 million in 2018. After two seasons at Arsenal, he was loaned to Hertha Berlin by the team in 2020 and sub-loaned to Marseille in 2021.
After his loan period in Marseille expired for one year, Marseille decided to use the buyout clause to convert him to leave Arsenal and become a formal player of Marseille for 11 million euros. Guendouzi has also become one of Marseille's key players by virtue of his ability and potential. He has played 38 games this season, including Ligue 1, French Cup and Champions League, scoring 5 goals and 3 assists .
However, since Guendouzi's performance this season needs to be strengthened, his original worth of 40 million euros is likely to decline at the end of the season.
Worked with Emery in the Premier League and wants to bring Guendouzi back
Emery, who previously managed the French midfielder at Arsenal as manager and therefore knows his potential and style inside out, will be able to bring out the best in Guendouzi again.
Although Guendouzi's performance in Marseille this season has not been impressive, he is undoubtedly a talented player. As long as he is led by the right coach, I believe he can develop into an excellent Premier League midfielder.
Villa currently needs to add more technical ability and experience in the midfield, Guendouzi is the best candidate, and he can also be the ideal partner of the 24-year-old Douglas Lewis, the core of Villa's midfield.
The arrival of Guendouzi will add a possession position for Villa, helping the team control the game in midfield. At the same time, the French midfielder is also familiar with the Premier League, and his arrival next season will have an immediate impact at Villa.
Villa have made huge strides under their new boss and are currently sixth in the Premier League with 50 Premier League points and are battling for European qualification this season. Provided the team can secure qualification for European football next season, it would be an attractive landing spot for most players.
Unai Emery has retained an interest in the former apprentice since his winter move in January, as he wants to sign Guendouzi at the end of the season. It is understood that Guendouzi is currently worth at least 25 million euros, and Villa hopes to introduce him at a reasonable price and train him into a top player.
Villa now have the financial resources to sign the midfielder, though it remains to be seen how willing Guendouzi and Marseille are to the move.
