Serge Gnabry hints he would be open to Arsenal comeback – but also hasn’t ruled out a switch to London rivals Chelsea after impressive start at Werder Bremen
SERGE GNABRY has hinted he would happily move back to Arsenal - or even to their London rivals Chelsea - after an impressive start to life back in the Bundesliga.
The 21-year-old has netted seven times since switching to Werder Bremen for an undisclosed fee in the summer and also netted a hat-trick for Germany against San Marino in November during his international debut.
Gnabry is starting to show the potential he hinted at during his run through the Arsenal youth ranks and made 18 first-team appearances.

He told : "For my future, I've decided to focus on how I play now and today. That's why I'm trying to concentrate on now.
"As of today, I do not intend to change in the summer. But what happens in the future depends on my performance.
"What if Chelsea or Arsenal come knocking? Well, at the moment I'm trying to give my everything to Werder."
Arsene Wenger was well known not to want to have sold Gnabry, who was entering the final year of his contract at the club.
But the youngster wanted a taste of more first-team football and was strong-willed enough to force a move.

Werder will certainly be grateful they shelled out an estimated £5million on Gnabry for his goals alone. The club are just one place above the relegation zone, with the worst defence in the entire division.
Wenger said back in November: "We didn't want to get rid of Gnabry, we wanted to keep him.
"But he was in the last year of his contract. We were close to extending his contract but finally he changed his mind and went to Werder Bremen.
"I think we taught him a lot and I think if you ask him he would agree with that."
