Le Havre ace Pape Gueye has excited some Arsenal fans by replying to Mateo Guendouzi’s latest Instagram post. According to the Mirror, the Gunners are interested in a £5m move for the midfielder this summer.
Gueye responded to a picture of Guendouzi on the ball during Arsenal’s mid-season training camp in Dubai with ‘Guendouzzz’, the reply was also accompanied by the kissing and hurricane emojis.
21-year-old Gueye is an energetic defensive midfielder that has made 22 appearances for Le Havre this season in Ligue 2.
Guendouzi was actually impressing in France’s second-division before leaving Lorient to join the Gunners in the summer of 2018.
Take a look at Gueye’s message to Guendouzi below:
Here’s how some Arsenal fans reacted to Gueye’s support of Guendouzi on Instagram:

Why do you think the club opened fresh contract talks with him ?. He’s secured all the summer targets already.

I don’t want to hear any of this Raul nonsense. Guendouzi is rebuilding Arsenal single-handedly himself. Francenal FC ??

Guendouzi has gone on to establish himself as an important first-team player for the Gunners since his arrival from France, should Gueye move to north London he’d be hoping to have a similar impact.
Gueye’s signature would certainly bolster Arsenal’s midfield ranks, the youngster’s arrival would also give Mikel Arteta the chance to solidify a midfield that has often struggled to grasp control in games.
Gueye has previously won 10 caps for France’s youth sides across Under-18s and 19s level, the reported fee of £5m could potentially be a bargain price for the Gunners to pay for the promising French talent.
