"The talks with those in charge convinced me," Guendouzi said. "I not only want to continue my development, but also help the club make the next step. I am just up for Hertha and Berlin!"

Hertha sporting executive Michael Preetz added: "In Matteo we'll get a player who might be young in years but who'll make us more versatile in midfield with his experience of nearly 60 Premier League matches. He'll introduce new aspects which will improve our game."
