Serge Gnabry was considered by many as one of the more talented players that the fabled Arsenal academy had produced in the last few years. So it was a huge surprise when he was let go for a mere price of just £4.5m.

The tweet gathered some momentum on social media with more than 20,000 retweets and eventually made its way to the Emirates Stadium in London.

Arsenal tweeted a picture of their own in response. The picture showed Ray Parlour scoring one of his treble of goals against the German team in a 4-2 win in the UEFA Cup win 2000, with a caption reading "On the subject of hat-tricks, remember this?"
