"I'm looking forward to my time in Bremen," Gnabry told the Bundesliga club's website.

"It was important for me to come to a club who could give me the chance of getting some match practice.

"The management in Bremen have worked very hard on signing me and I am sure we can achieve something here."

Gnabry was presented at a press conference on Wednesday afternoon, where he said he was convinced that Bremen can challenge in the top half of the table.

Gnabry impressed at the Olympic Games this summer with six goals in as many appearances as Germany took the silver medal in Brazil.

He had not been getting a regular game for Arsenal, though, and was keen to make this move to start playing on a regular basis.
