Former Arsenal attacker Lukas Podolski has jumped into the debate over Serge Gnabry's problems in London.

At 24, the winger is in the form of his life with Bayern Munich after struggling at Arsenal.

Podolski told FourFourTwo magazine: "He was unlucky and had a few injuries. He did well in training.

"Off the pitch we spent a lot of time together, going for dinner. But sometimes football is like that, or you find a manager who gives you more confidence.

"Serge can shoot with both feet, and he is powerful and quick – a bit like me, only I don't have a right foot like him! I'm really pleased that he's doing well at Bayern."
