According to Sky Sports in Germany (h/t Football.London), Serge Gnabry would block any move to Chelsea in this summer window because of his history with bitter rivals Arsenal.
Raheem Sterling’s sale to Chelsea is close to being made official, but it’s clear that we can’t let the rest of the summer transfer window pass without making any additions since the attack needs reinforcements.
However, given that Raphinha and Ousmane Dembélé are close to signing with Barcelona, we somehow need to find a new target that meets Chelsea’s specifications. Recent sources claim that the Blues have moved their interest to Arsenal flop Serge Gnabry.
The player Tony Pulis initially deemed not good enough has produced four fantastic seasons for Bayern Munich but currently just has one year left on his contract. The remaining details might be filled in by the fact that the Germany international is connected to several teams as he has not reached any extension agreement with the Bavarian giants.
Chelsea was neither the first nor the last team to be linked, but we might be among the less likely ones to be successful. According to recent reports, Serge Gnabry has reportedly ruled out a summer transfer to Chelsea because of his past ties with Arsenal.
In the beginning of his career, Gnabry spent five years with Arsenal. After signing as a 16-year-old, he made just 18 first-team appearances for Arsenal, making one goal in that time. In 2016, after spending time on loan at West Bromwich Albion, he was sold to Werder Bremen.
It appears that Gnabry still has a connection with Arsenal despite his modest influence in north London. Because he couldn’t picture himself playing for Arsenal’s London rivals, Chelsea doesn’t seem to be an option for him this summer.
Even though Kai Havertz is gradually developing into a dependable option for the Blues up front, Timo Werner—who was regarded as a potential world-beater during his time in the Bundesliga—is currently finding it difficult to make an impact at Stamford Bridge and is already being linked with a transfer away from the team.
In the event that a profitable arrangement presents itself to the London-based club in the form of Gnabry. However, Given his stance right now, any solid transfer for the former West Brom player sounds like a challenging task.
