McGuinness left Arsenal in 2021 for Cardiff after spending 10 years with the Gunners academy setup.

Included in that deal was a sell-on clause, which was understood to be 30 per cent of any profit Cardiff made when selling McGuinness.

Arsenal are now set to reap the rewards of that after McGuinness completed a £10m move to Luton this week.

The Gunners are understood to be banking around £2m from the centre-back’s move, which will boost their finances.
