Ian Wright has asked Arsenal fans on Twitter to protect Matteo Guendouzi at all costs.

The Arsenal legend made the plea following the Gunners’ 2-2 draw with Tottenham Hotspur at the Emirates Stadium in the Premier League on Sunday.

Guendouzi was superb for the Gunners in the Premier League game and was a force to be reckoned with in the middle of the park.

The 20-year-old midfielder provided a superb assist for Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang’s goal, and he himself could have etched his name on the scoresheet.

According to WhoScored, against Spurs on Sunday, the France Under-21 international took two shots, had a pass accuracy of 82.8%, and made three tackles and two interceptions.

Former Arsenal striker Wright was impressed with the performance of Guendouzi and has urged the Emirates Stadium faithful to protect him at all costs.

Developing talent

Guendouzi is developing and progressing well for Arsenal, and his mature and effective performance against Tottenham in the North London derby showed just what he is capable of.

The youngster made 23 starts and 10 substitute appearances in the Premier League for the Gunners last season, and he has already played 356 minutes in the league this campaign, according to WhoScored.
