Bayern Munich winger Serge Gnabry has been pictured in an Arsenal shirt during a recent conference call with his teammates.
It wasn’t an old Gunners jersey either, with the 24-year-old wearing the ‘bruised banana’ yellow away kit which Adidas unveiled at the start of the campaign.
Needless to say, the picture got a lot of fans on Twitter speculating whether Gnabry would consider a return to the Emirates in the future:

Even Mesut Ozil has had his say on the image:

Arsenal reluctantly let Gnabry leave for Werder Bremen four years ago with the player in the final year of his contract at the club. Manager Arsene Wenger could not persuade him to extend his deal so he returned to Germany where he has flourished into a top international.
This season, the German has scored 18 goals and provided 11 assists in 33 appearances for Bayern. Whether he’ll ever return to London, though, it remains to be seen.
