Same.
Excellent player and exactly the kind of signing we need to replicate in other positions over the next few years.
We bough thim for just over £7m. Likely worth £40m now.
There is no need to spend big money to get top players.
Transfermarkt has his market value at £31.5m, but that was before his international call up.
That's low balling, he's worth £40m on age alone and in a few years that will creep up.
No ones telling me he's not worth as much as Iwobi at the age of 20 with his potential.
Like I said a few weeks ago he's like our new Gilberto Silva, now with the French squad and that confidence outside the AFC bubble he'll develop even quicker.
.............. and you do need to spend in the market, Guendouzi was available because his position of CM / CDM doesn't demand the attention positions like striker and winger do, they are harder to get for cheap, I mean actual goal scorers, plus not every youngster fulfills their potential, in fact its more often they don't.
We got lucky with Guendouzi, even a few so-so performances never detered him, its down to his attitude he is where he is......... a maturity our privileged British youth seem to lack hence why they always fail, they think they already made it at age 19.
You don't see any of them being called up to the National team.
