Serge Gnabry

“It might not work straight away, but I do know now that if you truly focus on improving, you will eventually improve.”

“Per has had a career unlike many footballers.”

“As a 16-year-old boy, to leave your parents, leave your surroundings, it makes you grow a bit faster.”

“I've come to Bremen to get playing time, to develop further and to help the team.”

“Even when I was playing in England, I used to watch Bayern Dortmund games on TV.”

“For me, it is more important to be a good person than a good man. For me, this is someone who looks out for his environment, who wants good for other people, who is honest and forward-thinking.”

“I thought Arsenal was an amazing club, Arsene Wenger was there at the time and he gave young players a chance. They played football in a way I liked, offensive, a lot of possession. I wanted to take the risk, go there and show everyone I could make it.”

“I have learned a lot from Theo Walcott. We both are intelligent players and we know what the other will do.”

“Sure, Mesut is a good role model, and I learned a lot by watching him at Arsenal.”

“I'm motivated in any game that I play, and I just want to win.”

“I like to read a good book.”

“Hazard is world class, he is amazing. The way he protects the ball and his first touch is incredible.”

“The media knew of me when I was in Stuttgart, but since I joined Arsenal their interest increased.”

“Robben's dribbling and cutting inside is incredible.”

“I want to give something back from what life has given me.”

“Julian Nagelsmann is a motivated coach who always gives 100 per cent. I get on very well with that because I always give everything too. He is someone who makes his players better.”

“I would like to mature to a man who speaks well.”

“To just be consistent and being able to play every time, showing my performance helped me for the future.”

“The move away from Arsenal was not easy for me after five years in London but going to Werder Bremen was a good decision.”

“Arsenal wanted to keep me by all means, but it was about my career. When a player does not perform, a club will also not show mercy and will not try to keep the player.”
