Serge Gnabry has previously suggested that his stint as an Arsenal player was key to his career amid rumours of a potential Emirates return.
The German began his career with the north London outfit, going on to make 18 appearances for the Gunners and scoring a solitary goal.
A disappointing loan move to West Bromwich Albion was followed by a move to Bundesliga outfit Werder Bremen and he thrived back in his home country with 11 goals in his first season.
