“ I saw him in Dubai on the beach, him and [ Hector ] Bellerin came and they were equitable having a bite of time off. He was in a veridical kind of down, depressive kind of mood.

I had given him out on lend to West Brom and he did n’t play a game. He came back, he was injured. We worked identical hard with him for six months and he went out with the german national team, under-21 ‘s, and Bayern made a distribute with Werder Bremen. He wanted to sign in the end, did n’t want to extend his sign ( with Arsenal ) and I was very deplorable. But we could n’t get over the line with him because I knew he would have a great career.
