Arsenal
On 11 July 2018 during the summer transfer window, it was announced that Guendouzi had joined Premier League team Arsenal for an undisclosed fee, believed to be in the region of £7m plus bonuses. Head coach Unai Emery said “We are delighted Matteo is joining us. He is a talented young player and a lot of clubs were interested in him. He has big potential and gained good first-team experience last season with Lorient. He wants to learn and improve and will be an important part of our first-team squad”. Upon joining the club, Guendouzi was given the number 29 shirt, previously held by Granit Xhaka, who took the number 34 shirt, following the departure of Francis Coquelin, the previous season. On July 28th, he made his second debut in a friendly match against his former club Paris Saint Germain in Singapore. He started the game, impressed and helped his team to beat Paris Saint Germain 5-1. On 12 August 2018, Guendouzi made his Premier League debut in Arsenal’s opening fixture of the season against defending Champions Manchester City where he made 72 touches, the most for his team.

However after Guendouzi’s father met Renard in March 2017, Guendouzi decided to remain and pledge allegiance to France.
