Werder Bremen winger Serge Gnabry says his Germany debut is thanks to his Arsenal education.

The midfielder admits he owes Arsene Wenger and the north London club a debt of gratitude.

"Without being in England, I would not be the player I am now," he told RND radio. "There was Arsenal's quick playing style, for example, which I learned.

"When you are a young player and you get to train with such top players as there are at Arsenal for three years then of course you take something away with you and it improves you.

"That was definitely the case with me. I probably would not be here now if I had not been in England."
