Matteo Guendouzi denies talk of tensions in Arsenal dressing room

Arsenal midfielder Matteo Guendouzi has dispelled rumours of a rift in the Gunners' dressing room and says that the club can do "great things" this season.

The 19-year-old, a £7million summer signing from Lorient, has been a surprise starter for Arsenal so far this season and has enjoyed a bright start to life in North London.

However, things have not been so smooth for some of his team mates, with reports of a falling out between Mesut Ozil and new manager Unai Emery, although the boss yesterday denied the claims.

Speaking after Saturday's 3-1 win over West Ham, the Gunners' first victory of the season, Guendouzi was asked about the rumoured unrest but said: "No, no, no, there are never tensions.

"Of course we lost the first two matches but there were very positive things in those first two matches, it should be noted," he told RMC Sport.

"So now we won against West Ham and maybe we showed people who didn’t believe in us that we will be there this season and you have to count on us until the end of the season.

"We know what we are capable of, we have a great squad, a great staff. It’s a great club, we know we can do great things this year."
