Arsenal ‘interested’ in signing 17-goal former player as they eye free transfer next summer

Arsenal are interested in signing Bayern Munich winger Serge Gnabry but may wait until he is a free agent next year, according to reports.

The German is expected to move on when his contract expires in 2023. Bayern were hopeful that an offer to double his salary would tempt him to extend, but he rejected the latest deal put on the table.

Gnabry had a solid 2021/22 as Bayern retained their Bundesliga crown, scoring 17 goals and providing 10 assists in 45 matches across all competitions.

The 26-year-old spent five years at Arsenal before moving to Germany in 2016 where he has flourished.

According to German outlet Bild, the Gunners are ‘interested’ in signing their former player, however, a move this summer should be ruled out after Mikel Arteta’s side failed to qualify for the Champions League.
