Arsenal: Piers Morgan admits he had never heard of Serge Gnabry
Serge Gnabry is the superkid who has been creating
waves in Arsenal's youth teams for the past two
seasons since signing from Stuttgart.
The attacking midfielder was the standout player
from the club's NextGen Series side last season, and
looked like a regular in the first team during several
assured pre-season displays.
Gnabry is a German youth international and Theo
Walcott's injury could not have been better timed for
him, considering that Germany international boss
Jogi Low was at the Emirates to check out Mesut Ozil
He really did himself no injustice, putting in a mature
display which got better as the game went on -
despite being clattered by Robert Huth early into the
second half.
Gnabry was certainly in-form, baggin a goal on his
under-19 debut for Germany a fortnight ago, a
winner over West Brom in Arsenal's under-21s days
later, and a brace against Marseille on Tuesday in
UEFA's new Youth League.
A frequent name on the bench this season, it was
little surprise to see him called up in place of the
injured Walcott, for an opportunity overdue.
Not everybody was ready for him though, with
Arsenal supporter Piers Morgan incredibly admitting
he had never heard of a player considered the club's
most advanced and exciting youth prospect.

Is it because it's 05.24am in LA that I've just seen
our team-sheet and don't know who one of our
players is? #Gnabry #Afc

Arsenal fans mocking me for not knowing Gnabry
will be the same ones who always knew Ramsey
would come good. #TheExperts #Afc

Anyway, apparently he's a 'very exciting young
German winger', so best of luck to him. #Gnabry

Gnabry certainly will hope there are no Arsenal fans
not knowing his name now, and it would not be a
surprise to see him away to West Brom in the League
Cup in midweek. He may just turn out to be the
season's best breakthrough star
