Arsenal and Chelsea transfer target Serge Gnabry ill and out of Germany games after turning up in £2,000 Gucci gilet
SERGE GNABRY showed off his sleek fashion sense by arriving for Germany duty in a £2,000 designer gilet.
The reported Arsenal and Chelsea target turned up at the team hotel on Monday in the Gucci number worth thousands… before being sent home.
The German FA revealed the Bayern Munich winger had left the rest of the squad as a precaution after suffering from “mild symptoms of a flu infection.”
He took four rapid Covid-19 antigen tests – all of which came back negative.
Nevertheless the 26-year-old will no longer be available for the friendlies against Israel or the Netherlands.
Gnabry had posted a picture to Twitter of him reporting for duty in his fancy Gucci top, captioning the post: “Checking in.”

But he was forced to check out soon after.
Gnabry has enjoyed another productive season at German giants Bayern Munich, scoring 13 times and providing nine assists in 36 games in all competitions.
That’s led to speculation of a sensational return to Arsenal, with Gnabry pictured wearing a vintage Gunners’ kit earlier this month.
Gnabry was on the books at Arsenal as a youngster, but was moved on back in 2016 after failing to impress then boss Arsene Wenger.

A sensational career turnaround has seen the winger establish himself as one of Europe’s hottest properties, with 20 goals in 31 appearances in Germany.
Chelsea too were reported to be keen on a move, but financial sanctions placed on the club’s owner Roman Abramovich have thrown the potential move into doubt.
The Blues are not allowed to sign any new players or extend the contracts of their current stars under ongoing restrictions.
