As a fan of Arsenal and Canadian soccer I was hoping he'd sign at Arsenal, but it's probably better for his career to go to Germany. The top Premier League teams really don't have a lot of playing time available for younger players and with the reserve/youth teams not playing in the pyramid it's tough to gain quality experience. Playing in Germany will also get around the UK work permit issues.

Hopefully he gets his immigration issues which were keeping him from playing internationally sorted and we can see him playing for Canada in the next Gold Cup.
