Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has revealed that he is surprised about how well Serge Gnabry has developed in the last year or two.
The German youngster made his full first-team debut last weekend against Stoke City and then followed that up with a start against Swansea City yesterday, in which he scored his first ever senior goal for the club.
His goal gave The Gunners a 1-0 lead in the second-half and the side eventually went on to win 2-1 and Wenger has revealed that he has been surprised about how good the youngster is.
‘He is surprising,’ said the Frenchman. ‘He has the talent, but he has the personality on the pitch as well.
‘He doesn’t look timid, he looks to play with belief and, of course, talent. Unfortunately he is another player for Germany, he’s not English.
‘He was one-year-old when I came to Arsenal, I can’t believe it. Now I have some players in my squad who were not born when I arrived at Arsenal.
‘The two players who scored (Gnabry and Aaron Ramsey) have a combined age of 40.’
