Paris Saint-Germain’s Julian Draxler is reportedly wanted by Arsenal in the summer transfer window.
It has been reported that PSG want around £32 million in order to part company with the 23-year-old, who can operate as a winger or as an attacking midfielder.
The Germany international, who joined the Ligue 1 outfit from German club VfL Wolfsburg in the January transfer window, earns about £90,000 per week at PSG, according to the report.
Draxler did not have a great time at PSG, but the former Schalke star is a superb footballer and is potentially world class.
Blessed with the versatility to play as a winger or as an attacking midfielder, the German would be a massive hit at the Emirates Stadium.
While Mesut Ozil is the creator-in-chief at Arsenal at the moment, Draxler would be a good option to play out wide and help the former Real Madrid star.
In fact, Draxler could actually push his German compatriot for a place in the Gunners’ starting lineup and perhaps even replace him as the season progresses.
Draxler is still a very young player – he is only 23 years of age. The fact that the German played over 100 league matches for Schalke before moving to Wolfsburg and then PSG shows his natural ability and talent, and just how good he is.
It is not always that a player of Draxler’s quality becomes available. Arsenal should do everything they can to sign the 23-year-old in the summer transfer window – he could make them genuine Premier League title contenders.
