Arsenal have completed the £8million signing of midfielder Matteo Guendouzi from Lorient.
The 19-year-old, who has joined the Gunners just a day after Uruguay international Lucas Torreira signed for £25m, got straight down to business on Wednesday by training with his new team-mates.
Before training, Guendouzi posed for a series of photos as Arsenal supporters caught first glimpse of their new signing, who bears a striking resemblance to Chelsea's David Luiz.Guendouzi, Arsenal's fifth signing of the summer transfer window, has been handed the No 29 shirt.
Guendouzi broke into Lorient's first team two years ago and made 20 appearances last season.
Guendouzi progressed through the ranks at Paris Saint-Germain's academy prior to joining Lorient back in 2014.
On signing for the North London outfit, Guendouzi told the club's website: 'It’s something I’m immensely proud of.
'Arsenal have always been the team closest to my heart and a side I’ve wanted to join since I was a child.
