Probably because he's been injured. Looked very promising last season.
Don't think he's that over-hyped to be honest, but also don't think he'll be a mega star. Will do better than Miyachi, but looking at our team now - where would anyone put him?
If he stays fit then he definitely will.
Anyone who has doubt should watch our FA cup game vs Spurs last season. He had Danny Rose on toast.
As Bats said, if he stays fit (big if) I think he has far more potential than the Ox.

Wat about Gedion?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I have more doubt about him than I have about Gnabry. I don't think Gedion is made for the PL tbh as he is already struggling with the U21.
I think he's an excellent player.
Very similar to Chamberlain from both a physical and a technical standpoint, although he's a little less direct than his English counterpart.
He looked like he was starting to break into the first-team squad before his injury - and there was even talk of a potential call up to the Germany senior side - so assuming this hasn't stifled his development too much, he should be getting some first-team action next season.
If his injury hasn't damaged him I am certain he will make it.
Yup, like the Ox but more able to play intricate passes. He has played beyond his years each time I have seen him.
Very good player. Like a lot of our potential stars, he has suffered a massive injury just as he was on the verge of breaking through. A year lost at this stage of a career is massive, but he has the talent to make it.
Zelalem hasn't stepped up to the mark in the U-21s yet. Has shown the odd sign here and there that he is growing into the league, but these have been too few and far between to get excited. Really think he should be sent to the Dutch, Portuguese or French league for a season to help his development. Dan Crowley looks miles ahead of him at the moment.
A loan doesn't always help for a player at zelalems age. Ryo played the best football of his career when first in Holland but looking at his career now you could argue he would have been better off spending that time with the coaching set up at arsenal
But Zelalem has had 3 seasons, and is not showing much development at all.
Miyaichi went straight out on loan. Think he has spent about 3 months uninjured at Arsenal. He actually did quite well at Bolton in the PL as well, before the injuries stacked up.
A lot of people have said Zelalem needs better players around him to show his true class, so let him prove it.
He's a top talent. Though now, Arsenal have more competition for places than in previous years so he will have to stay fit and show his potential.
We have a few players like him in the squad so it's not going to be easy. But he certainly has the talent.
Looked physically capable in the few games I saw, which impressed me for one so young. Another Arsenal player injured for ages unfortunately.

yes he's had a lot more development but he's still only 18.
And a club needs to actually want to play him for 20 Games for the loan to be worthwhile
