Guendouzi fell out with Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta last season and was offloaded to Hertha in Germany on a loan deal in the summer of 2020. The 21-year-old midfielder has made an immediate impact at the Berlin club and has established himself as an important player in the team.

According to WhoScored, the France Under-21 international has made nine starts and one substitute appearance in the Bundesliga for Berlin so far this season, scoring two goals in the process. During the 2019-20 campaign, the youngster made 19 starts and five substitute appearances in the Premier League and made two starts and four substitute appearances in the Europa League for Arsenal, according to WhoScored.
