Arsenal’s Top 10 Prospects: An In-Depth Look at the Gunner’s Future
By Josh Sippie
3. Serge Gnabry
Serge Gnabry is on the cusp of not being able to be referred to as a “prospect” any more, given that he’s had quite a few bits and pieces of game time with the first team squad, but due to his lack of extensive playing time I included him on the list anyways.

At 20 years old, the speedy German is set to follow in the footsteps of Alexis and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain as the next great Arsenal winger. He’s already scored his first Arsenal senior squad goal and he’s put in 10 goals for the German U16-U19 squads.
Another honor that Gnabry holds is the honor of being named the “funniest man on the team” by countryman Mesut Ozil. I don’t see Ozil laugh often, so if Gnabry is capable of it, I’m impressed.
However, Gnabry suffered a serious knee injury and missed all of last year.
With a first-team spot not in the book, Gnabry is spending the year at West Brom where he figures to get into the first team rather quickly if they keep finding goals so hard to come by.
