Matteo Guendouzi’s behaviour is not up to the standards as expected by Mikel Arteta and the Arsenal boss says he is considering selling him in the summer.
The 21-year-old was heavily involved in the unsavoury scenes at the Amex on Saturday following his side's loss to Brighton.
Guendouzi grabbed Neal Maupay around the throat and also taunted opposition players about their inferior wages.
But it is not the first incident that has caused the Gunners boss to question Guendouzi.
The Spaniard was made aware of the midfielder acting up during a training session when he first took over.
Arteta is looking to change the culture at the Emirates having come from a winning environment at Manchester City.
And ahead of a potential summer overhaul the young Frenchman is treading a thin line with his departure not out of the question according to the Daily Mail.
His attitude at a mid-season training camp in Dubai also did little to convince Arteta that he should be a permanent fixture.
