Arsene Wenger talks up Serge Gnabry potential

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has talked up the potential of Serge Gnabry following the youngster's appearance against Stoke City on Saturday.

The 18-year-old German made his first Premier League start of the season as the Gunners ran out 3-1 winners at the Emirates Stadium in the Premier League.

"He has the quality to be creative because he can dribble, he can run with the ball, he can be a good passer and he is a great finisher," Wenger told the club's official website.

"On that front, once the confidence level [rises] he will be alright. His physical qualities, his technical qualities are at the requested level."

Arsenal return to action on Wednesday night when they travel to West Bromwich Albion in the third round of the Capital One Cup.
