Grading the summer transfer window: Bayern Munich

Serge Gnabry

Serge Gnabry

This move came somewhat out of left-field. As mentioned in the intro, the club needed to start looking for people that could eventually replace the stalwarts of Robben and Ribery, with Kingsley Coman already entrenched as one heir to the throne, Serge Gnabry isn’t a home run to be the other.

The former Arsenal man had a great season at Werder Bremen, a standout performer in a team that for a long time was in the mire and showed a lot of explosiveness. A creator and scorer of goals, on his day he can be a real livewire that can cause problems to any defence.

Except, that can be a wildly inconsistent metric. Too often the winger has off-days where he tries to do too much or gets that tunnel vision that makes him seem like a selfish player.

Whether he’s really of Bayern quality remains to be seen.

Grade: 5/10
