MATTEO GUENDOUZI has been warned: grow up or you will throw away your Arsenal career.
The stark wake-up call came from his friend and former Arsenal man Jeremie Aliadiere after the youngster was involved in a bust-up with Mikel Arteta earlier in the season.
A clash on the training ground during the club's winter break training camp in Dubai left Guendouzi in the bad books with the boss and his coaching staff.
And now Aliadiere – who spent eight years with Arsenal and played with Guendouzi as he came through at Lorient – is desperate for his French compatriot to mature off the field just as he has on it.
He told Goal: “Listen, I’m a big fan of the guy.
“He’s like my little brother and I always told him that Arsenal would be a very good team for his development as a player and as a human being.
“He took my advice and came to the club, but I just feel Matteo hasn’t grown up as a human being yet.
"He’s grown up as a player, he’s matured massively as a player and every year he gets better.
