'We couldn't get it over the line': sad Wenger rues Gnabry's departure from Arsenal
  • Serge Gnabry has been one of Bayern Munich's stars this season and his recent brace propelled the Germans into the Champions League final.
  • However, until 2016 he was an Arsenal player - that summer he left for Werder Bremen for a meagre sum of €5m.
  • The Gunners were headed up by Arsene Wenger back then, who admits he knew at the time that Gnabry would turn out a star.
  • The Frenchman describes the winger as a player who has everything his locker: pace, ambidexterity, shot power, the timing of runs.
  • Wenger admits it was out of his hands with the contract extension: Gnabry simply wanted to leave for Werder after spending time with the German U21s national team.
