Serge Gnabry's Stance On Potential Chelsea Transfer Revealed Amid Arsenal Roots

Serge Gnabry’s stance on a potential transfer to Chelsea this summer amid uncertainty over his future at Bayern Munich. 

The 26-year-old is among attacking options being considered by Chelsea in the summer transfer window as Thomas Tuchel looks to bolster his frontline for the 2022/23 campaign. 

Gnabry and AC Milan’s Rafael Leao have been identified as possible new recruits with Leeds United star Raphinha appearing to be Barcelona-bound. 

Versatility is wanted in the Chelsea attack next season and Gnabry’s current situation in Munich has the Blues monitoring his future. 

No new deal has been agreed between Bayern and the Germany international despite being out of contract next summer. 

He is likely to cost in excess of £30 million, after scoring 17 goals last season and registering 10 assists in 45 appearances in all competitions. 

But after Chelsea’s interest was made, reports from Sky Germany stated that a move to Stamford Bridge is ‘no topic’ for Gnabry. 

This is because of the winger’s affiliation with Arsenal, which saw him leave north London for Germany back in 2016 for Werder Bremen.

One year on, he joined Bayern Munich and after five years could be ready to find a new club.

Despite Gnabry’s reported stance of a switch to Chelsea, Nick Purewal of PA reports that Tuchel’s side remain ‘undeterred’ by suggestions Gnabry is not keen on a move to the club due to his Arsenal roots.

With the hope of wanting to add to the imminent arrival of Raheem Sterling, Chelsea could test their luck with a move for the former Arsenal winger. 

Hakim Ziyech could be set to leave for AC Milan which will see Chelsea needing new forwards following the departure of Romelu Lukaku. 

Thomas Tuchel warned his Chelsea attackers that new additions would be made this summer and he is delivering on that promise.

He said at the end of last season: “If we stick to the group then we will try to solve it with these players.

"Is it necessary to bring more offensive players around the box to create more distractions, to create more space for each other? We will ask that question. Can we do better in the structure? Can we push the players more? Did we rotate too much? Let’s see.

“There are a lot of options. The numbers we produce from our offensive players don’t allow us to over-perform and we need over-performance if we want to be nearer to the top two teams.

"I am not pointing fingers, I am not blaming anybody, but we need over-performance from everybody. It’s not over-performance if we have only single figures in scoring and assisting.”
