Arsenal handed Serge Gnabry transfer boost after Sadio Mane drops Liverpool hint

Arsenal may have been handed a boost in their pursuit of Bayern Munich star Serge Gnabry.

The Gunners are set for a busy summer transfer window 12 months after splashing out in excess of £150million on six first-team players. Mikel Arteta is keen to bolster his squad and improve on last season's fifth-placed Premier League finish.

football.london understands that Manchester City frontman Gabriel Jesus and AS Roma forward Tammy Abraham are two names on the club's transfer shortlist. Another name that has recently been mooted as a potential target is former Arsenal winger Serge Gnabry, who has just one year remaining on his contract at the Allianz Arena.

Now, the north Londoners may have been handed a boost in their pursuit of the German international after reported Bayern transfer target Sadio Mane hinted that he could be leaving Liverpool after the Reds lost the UEFA Champions League final on Saturday night. After the Reds' defeat, Mane wished Jurgen Klopp's side well, a declaration that sounded as if he would not be there next term.

Speaking after the 1-0 loss to Real Madrid, he said: "I think it’s a tricky one the game tonight, we are disappointed - the fans have been amazing, I want to thank them for everything and the boss, I wish this team all the success in the world." If Mane was to join the Bundesliga champions, it makes it all the more likely that Gnabry would leave the club this summer, especially when you consider that he has rebuffed the German club's recent contract offers.
