Wenger blames Bayern for Gnabry deal

“We tried to extend his contract for a very long time and I think that Bayern manipulated behind the scenes, that if he went to Bremen he would join Bayern after,” Wenger told beIN SPORTS. “He was always a very talented boy who lacked confidence in some stages, but we always thought we had a player who could achieve a lot.

“He came back from a very bad experience [on loan] at West Brom where his confidence was destroyed. I tried to rebuild him because I believed in him.”

Those are the words of former Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger, who has spoken out about Serge Gnabry’s exit from Bayern Munich. As we’ve all come to learn, Wenger has a tendency to tell stories about the stars of the past that he may or may not have signed over the years.

Gnabry is currently making a name for himself with Bayern Munich, scoring four goals for the club against Arsenal’s bitter rivals Tottenham Hotspur recently.
