Ex-Arsenal star player is reportedly set to make a shocking return to the Premier League with a new club in the January 2026 transfer window.
Former Arsenal midfielder Matteo Guendouzi has been linked with a possible return to the Premier League, with reports suggesting Sunderland could be a potential destination.
The speculation has grown after Sunderland manager Régis Le Bris commented on his relationship with the French international, acknowledging their past connection while downplaying the likelihood of any immediate move.
Le Bris previously worked with Guendouzi during his time with Lorient’s B team and admitted that they have remained in touch over the years.
Although Sunderland did not make any attempt to sign the former Arsenal player during the June transfer window, the manager spoke positively about their ongoing relationship and mutual respect.
However, Le Bris was clear that the club has not committed to making an approach for Guendouzi in the upcoming transfer window.
He explained that while they still have connections with certain players, including Guendouzi, it is too early to discuss any potential transfer plans. Despite the uncertainty, the links have generated interest, with many fans hoping to see the midfielder make a dramatic return to English football.
