Many Arsenal fans are furious with ex-CEO Ivan Gazidis after rumours have surfaced about Serge Gnabry’s transfer exit from the North London club.

According to Sport Bild (via Bavarian Football Works) – as well as comments made by Arsene Wenger – Bayern Munich allegedly had an agreement with Werder Bremen to allow them to sign Gnabry from Arsenal, as long as they could buy him after a year for €7m (£6.06m).
The report goes on to say it was a “win-win-win situati0n” involving three teams – though unfortunately for the Gunners, they were not one of them.
Werder Bremen ended up spending a measly €6m (£5.2m) on the winger before they loaned him to Hoffenheim for a season where he impressed under Julian Nagelsmann, before coming back and impressing at Werder, and then finally being sold to Bayern for just €7m.
Unsurprisingly, Arsenal fans were pretty miffed when hearing about such news – especially considering the 24-year-0ld German is now worth more than 10 times what he was allegedly sold for, with Transfermarkt valuing him at £54m.
Here are some of the responses below…
This was widely known at the time and simply confirms how bad Gazidis was at his job.
