The French midfielder was once regarded as a potential future star due to his promising performances for the Gunners. However, he has since struggled to progress and has adopted a journeyman status since joining Marseille in 2022, currently on loan at Lazio. His underwhelming displays attracted criticism from former Roma and Inter Milan player Radja Nainggolan. Nainggolan, now playing in Indonesia, launched a scathing attack on Guendouzi, labeling him as “useless” and expressing doubt about his suitability for a team like Lazio.
Nainggolan further criticized Guendouzi, questioning his quality and suitability for a team of Lazio’s standard, stating that there are at least 12 better players than him in Serie A. He remarked on Guendouzi’s lack of goals and limited attacking contribution, emphasizing his perceived deficiencies in the game. Despite his comments, Guendouzi won’t have an opportunity to respond to Nainggolan, as the Belgian veteran has left Serie A and now plays in Indonesia after spells at Royal Antwerp and SPAL.
