"They could move..": Journo drops big Arsenal transfer claim that supporters will love - opinion

Arsenal are reportedly monitoring the situation of their former player Serge Gnabry, as they look set to miss out on Leeds United talisman Raphinha.

According to 90min’s Sean Walsh, the Gunners could potentially make a move for the Germany international this summer, with just one year remaining on his existing deal with current club Bayern Munich.

Writing on Twitter about that interest, Walsh stated: “The Gunners are keeping an eye on Serge Gnabry’s contract situation at Bayern Munich (up in 2023). They could move for their former winger with it likely that they’ll miss out on Raphinha.”

As per the corresponding article from 90min, the belief is that the 26-year-old – who left the Emirates Stadium six years ago to join Werder Bremen – could be sold by the Bundesliga giants if he does not sign a contract extension, as hinted at by Bayern director Hasan Salihamidzic.

This comes amid reports that the aforementioned Raphinha is on his way to Barcelona, despite interest from Chelsea, with the 25-year-old having been strongly linked with a move to north London in recent weeks and months.

After the disappointment of seemingly missing out on the Brazilian, moving for Gnabry would more than soften the blow, with Arsenal supporters no doubt desperate to see the £58.5m-rated forward back at the club where it all began for him.

A product of the Premier League club’s youth system, he went on to make just 18 senior appearances for the Gunners in all competitions after making his debut as a 17-year-old in 2012, notably enduring an infamous loan spell at West Bromwich Albion where he had just a solitary league outing under Tony Pulis.

A return to his homeland swiftly followed, although that decision to let him go has backfired
