# 19-year-old rejects European duo for Arsenal move – could be announced today

Matteo Guendouzi will reportedly be confirmed as an Arsenal player later today, according to [Pete O’Rourke](https://twitter.com/SportsPeteO/status/1016607712505888769).

O’Rourke claims that the player had a medical at the club yesterday as he prepares to complete a move to London.

The Lorient youngster will become the latest player to join Unai Emery’s Arsenal in what has been a busy summer transfer window so far.

[The Metro](https://metro.co.uk/2018/07/09/unai-emery-personally-persuades-matteo-guendouzi-join-arsenal-ahead-paris-saint-germain-7693803/) claims that it was Emery himself who persuaded the 19-year-old to move to London.

Guendouzi had been attracting interest from some of the top teams in Europe, including Borussia Dortmund and Paris Saint-Germain, but he is set to sign a four-year deal at the Emirates.

At the age of just 19, it is yet to be seen how Emery will utilise the midfielder in the first-team squad next season, if at all.

He featured 21 times for Lorient last season and is very highly thought of back in France.
