ARSENAL legend Martin Keown believes Arsenal could cash in on Matteo Guendouzi as he labelled the midfielder as not good enough for the club.
The 21-year-old has failed to play a single minute of football since his antics away at Brighton on June 20, with Mikel Arteta omitting him from five matchday squads.
Real Madrid and Barcelona have both been linked with a move for the Frenchman as the Gunners weigh up whether to sell the youngster.

It has also been revealed how Guendouzi has spent the last two weeks training on his own – further fuelling speculation he could be on his way out at the end of the season.
And Keown believes that Arsenal have a big decision to make, as he states that there are players better than him in the side.
Speaking to talkSPORT about the former Lorient ace he said: “His biggest quality is his personality.
“I’m not sure he’s really good enough if I’m absolutely honest.
“I think if you do have misdemeanours and you play well on the pitch that seems to get you back in and that may be the problem for him.
“[Lucas] Torreira now is back from injury, [Granit] Xhaka is playing better in that position, [Dani] Ceballos is controlling games for Arsenal.
“It’s going to be difficult for the young man to get back in but everybody deserves a second opportunity, but it starts from the training pitch.
“They may want to use him though in terms of selling players, we talk about the financial difficulties, probably Arsenal need to sell before they can buy in the summer.
“It may be that he takes the opportunity to offload him in the summer but we’ll have to wait and see what Arteta intends to do.”
