Arsenal fans want club to sign Serge Gnabry

But rather than express their disappointment for missing out on Raphinha, a section of Arsenal fans have moved to suggest an option for the Leeds ace.

The supporters now want the club to consider re-signing Bayern Munich star Serge Gnabry.

One said:

"Lost race for Raphinha, no problem... Gnabry is a better option anyday (sic). Please bring him home."

A second added:

"I'd rather have Gnabry than Raphinha. Especially at the fees being discussed for the Leeds man."

Gnabry's future at the Bundesliga club is believed to be up in the air with his contract set to expire next year.

Below are more comments from Arsenal fans on Raphinha - Gnabry transfer:

Arsenal submit bid to sign ex-Chelsea striker

Earlier, Sports Brief reported Arsenal have submitted an offer to sign Alvaro Morata as Mikel Arteta steps ups efforts to sign a striker.

Morata has been a Chelsea player before but did not perform as expected despite his huge transfer fee.

Arsenal are however more interested in landing Gabriel Jesus from Manchester City and will look keenly at other options should the move fail.
