A trio of Premier League clubs are eager to sign Serge Gnabry on a season-long loan, according to the Daily Mirror.

The 19-year-old winger showed flashes of his potential during his 15 appearances for the Gunners last term and could be allowed to leave the Emirates on a temporary arrangement so long as the interested parties offer him regular first team football.

Southampton, Newcastle United and Crystal Palace are believed to have contacted Arsene Wenger about the German youth international’s availability.

Given Theo Walcott’s imminent return and the fact Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Alexis Sanchez, Tomas Rosicky, Santi Cazorla, Lukas Podolski and Joel Campbell are all potential wide options, it does look as though Gnabry has his work cut out securing a first team berth at the moment.

In that respect a loan move certainly makes sense.

Southampton were mooted as a potential destination when the Calum Chambers deal took place and if Arseblog News was picking we’d certainly say that’s a better option than sharing a shower with a becapped Tony Pulis or a dressing room with Alain Pardieu.
