It was on a bright spring Saturday afternoon in deepest south London that Serge Gnabry made his first impression on English football. Charlton's training ground was the venue. In attendance were a few parents and a couple of scouts. No one else was much interested.
It was an undistinguished setting for the 15-year-old who, 10 years on, is about to play in the biggest game in club football at the Stadium of Light in Lisbon.
Everyone in English football knows Serge Gnabry's name now, not least Tottenham, against whom he scored four goals in 35 minutes in October, and Chelsea, who conceded twice to him in March.
