Arsenal Winger Serge Gnabry Responds to Borussia Dortmund Links
Arsenal winger Serge Gnabry has cooled speculation linking with him with a move to Borussia Dortmund.
The 18-year-old has broken into the Gunners' first team this season with Arsene Wenger suggesting the winger could be a surprise candidate for the Germany squad ahead of the World Cup.
But Gnabry's remarkable performances have also caught the eye of clubs in his homeland, with Jurgen Klopp greatly impressed with the youngster's performance in the FA Cup win against Tottenham Hotspur, according to Bild.
The report suggested Dortmund will attempt to bring the former Stuttgart youngster back to the Bundesliga in the summer, but Gnabry has made it abundantly clear through his Facebook page that he is happy at the Emirates Stadium, writing: "BVB? I'm happy at Arsenal. Thanks for the support."
Gnabry has made nine appearances this season but is likely to have a bigger role to play in Arsenal's pursuit of silverware given Theo Walcott's injury absence.
Having scored his first goal for the club in a 2-1 win over Swansea earlier in the season, Wenger believes it is only a matter of time before the winger catches the eye of Germany head coach Joachim Jow before he names his squad for Brazil 2014.
"We are looking at a guy who has a good individual talent, he can go past people is a good finisher and has a very good football brain with good vision," Wenger told the club's official website earlier this week.
"I am not afraid with him. I have shown that against Tottenham – it was a big game. He has convinced many people that he at least deserves another chance.
"He was influential in that game, and until now when I played he has always had an impact on the game."
Gnabry signed a new five year contract with the Gunners' as recently as last October that will keep him in north London until 2018.
