Marseille find breakthrough with Arsenal over Guendouzi fee

Olympique Marseille have found a breakthrough with Arsenal over a fee for Matteo Guendouzi.

OM and Arsenal have been in negotiations for several weeks over the France U21 captain, who spent last season on-loan with Hertha Berlin.

OM had an offer of €10m rejected by Arsenal, which rate Guendouzi closer to €20m.

Le 10 Sport says a breakthrough has been found by OM over the last 24 hours, with a compromise over a price getting closer.

Interestingly, it's also suggested Arsenal have a unilateral option to extend Guendouzi's 12 months to 2023 this summer.
