Tony Pulis slams Arsenal star for not being good enough to play for West Brom

Tony Pulis hasn't been impressed by Arsenal loanee Serge Gnabry

ARSENAL loanee Serge Gnabry is not yet at ready to play Premier League football, according to West Brom manager Tony Pulis.

 

The Germany Under-21 international became Arsenal’s second-youngest goalscorer in the Premier League during the 2013/14 season, but missed the whole of the last campaign through injury.

Gnabry moved to the Hawthorns in an attempt to gain first-team football in the summer but he has managed only two Premier League appearances so far this season.

And Pulis admitted he hasn't given Gnabry game time because he doesn’t think he is good enough to play in the league.

He told the News News Blog and Star: “Serge has come here to play games, but he just hasn’t been for me, at the moment, at that level to play the games.

 

Gnabry celebrates after scoring for Arsenal against Swansea

“He’s come from academy football and not played much league football.

“Does academy football really prepare players for league football? And we’re talking about Premier League football here.

“As a manager you pick a team that’s going to win a game of football.

“You pick your best team, you don’t leave people out because you don’t like them, because of this, that and the other.”
