Matteo Guendouzi, a former midfielder for Arsenal, had his home burgled while he was playing for Marseille.

Since 2021, Marseille has been the home of the French defender after a productive loan season and paid the Gunners £9 million to acquire him the previous year.

In a recent event, Guendouzi was on the field playing for Marseille against Bayer Leverkusen in a pre-season friendly when his house was robbed.

During the time of the robbery, Guendouzi's wife was in the house while the robbers took many valuables.
