“They have good players in the [central midfield] position but not to sit down and give Arsenal the stability it has.
“Watch the game [against Spurs] It was great to see how he handled his game, how he handled that position, helping [teammates].

Guendouzi hints at £ 25m transfer U-turn
Funding is expected to be limited at Arsenal once again this summer, technical director Edu will have to get creative to beef up Mikel Arteta’s first team roster ahead of next season.
With that in mind, there are several players the Brazilian may be looking to sell to raise funds.
This list appears to include Matteo Guendouzi, who will spend the season on loan at Bundesliga Hertha Berlin after being frozen by Arteta and was reportedly told they will sell him at the next opportunity.
That’s according to reports that also claim that the Gunners have even lowered their asking price by £ 5 million to attract potential buyers.
Previously valued at £ 30 million last summer, the north London team is said to be willing to accept any offer in the region of £ 25 million for the Frenchman who will be in the final year of his contract in June.
However, based on the Frenchman’s comments on his future, a U-turn in the £ 25 million transfer appears to be about to take place.
When asked by France Football if his Arsenal career was over, Guendouzi said: “No, not at all. Now, I am focused on my season with Hertha Berlin.
“Then we will sit down with my entourage and the people of the club to think and discuss the future. I am still an Arsenal player. This summer will be a defining moment.”
