Not another Jamal Musiala
Like Jamal Musiala, Serge Gnabry also boasts great dribbling skills, especially in tighter areas of the pitch. This element is extremely vital for attacking midfielders as they are often surrounded by many defenders. Compared to his teammate, Gnabry cannot pull off incredible dribbles that open up goal-scoring chances consistently. However, he has always been quite an underrated passer and chance creator.
Throughout the last few seasons, "The Chef" has shown his keen vision and accuracy as a passer, as shown with the "putting-it-on-a-plate" assist against Heidenheim. Furthermore, Gnabry is also a very instinctive attacker who, on his days, has an eye for goals.
What Bayern has with Serge Gnabry playing as an attacking midfielder is not another magician on the ball like Jamal Musiala. Number 7 can provide a little bit of that Musiala magic, while also delivering through balls and crosses as well as being a trigger-happy player who is not afraid to take the shot if the opportunity arises.
Serge Gnabry can be a more than capable backup at the number 10 next season, playing the role of a second striker who can come in and change the game for Bayern Munich. I will not be surprised if Vincent Kompany decides to conduct this experiment further at the FIFA Club World Cup and the rest of the preseason.
