Mikel Arteta has made it no secret that he is a huge fan of reported Arsenal transfer target Serge Gnabry.
The German international broke into Arsene Wenger's first team during the 2013/14 campaign, scoring his first and only goal for the club during a Premier League clash against Swansea. However, the talented winger decided a permanent departure was the best solution for his career, and he eventually left in 2016 before establishing himself as one of Bundesliga's best players in recent years.
Gnabry has netted 64 goals and provided a further 40 assists in 171 appearances for parent club Bayern Munich, clinching four Bundesliga titles and one UEFA Champions League trophy in the process. The 26-year-old has just over one year on his contract at the Allianz Arena, and recent reports have suggested he is unwilling to accept the Bavarian's recent extension, with a return to the Emirates Stadium mooted as a possibility.
