Serge Gnabry's final squad number at Arsenal will give Tottenham supporters nightmares

Serge Gnabry is arguably the most popular player among Arsenal supporters right now.

Despite the fact he no longer at the club.

Any player who scores four goals against Tottenham Hotspur and then tweets "north London is red" afterwards is only ever going to be praised by Gunners fans and that's been the case ever since Bayern Munich's 7-2 win was confirmed.

"It's difficult to put this into words, winning 7-2,"Gnabry told reporters after the game."None of us would have imagined this.

"To have scored 4 goals is also an amazing feeling. I imagine all the Arsenal fans enjoyed that one!

"Obviously it's a great result for us & we're going to enjoy the evening."

But did Gnabry predict what was going to happen to Spurs prior to his Arsenal departure?

Well, one look at his final shirt number for the Gunners will give Tottenham fans nightmares as he wore no.27 prior to joining Werder Bremen in the summer of 2016.

27 = 2-7 - the scoreline at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in the Champions League on Tuesday night in favour of the reigning Bundesliga champions.

Gnabry had the no.27 at Arsenal for two seasons after upgrading from no.44 at the beginning of the 2014/2015 campaign.

However, he didn't make a single first-team appearance for the Gunners with that shirt number.

But following his four-goal haul against Spurs, the only complaint Arsenal fans can have is not doing more to ensure they kept hold of Gnabry.
