The French midfielder has been omitted from the matchday squad in recent weeks due to disciplinary reasons, as reports emerged that manager Mikel Arteta is not a fan of the player’s temperament.
Guendouzi was involved in an altercation with fellow EPL star Neal Maupay earlier this month. Video footage showed that the youngster held Maupay by his neck in a heated exchange during the game, as Brighton had the last laugh with a 2-1 victory.
Speaking to Goal, EPL legend Parlour heaped praise on Guendouzi’s skill-set, but added that the 21-year-old needs to get into the good books for his manager.
Guendouzi reportedly poked fun of the Brighton players’ wages and his actions have seemingly not gone down well with Arteta, who has left him out of the squad altogether in recent EPL fixtures.

Parlour, however, claimed that the 21-year-old exile is part of the EPL manager’s plan to stamp his authority at the club. The EPL legend also added that Guendouzi needs to do his talking on the pitch to save his Arsenal career.
Guendouzi’s Arsenal future reportedly hangs in the balance, as reports emerged earlier this week that he could be sold at the end of the EPL season. The Gunners are looking to raise funds to add to their squad and could decide to cash in on the Frenchman.
While Arsenal haven’t been consistent enough, Arteta has breathed new life into the EPL giants and looks set to oversee a squad overhaul in the upcoming transfer window.
Atletico Madrid midfielder Thomas Partey has long been linked with the EPL giants and it remains to be seen if they complete a move for him this summer.
