PSG’s ‘prime objective’ this summer is to sell Arsenal target Julian Draxler, according to Le 10 Sport.

PSG are looking to raise funds by selling some fringe players this summer, and sporting director Leanardo has reportedly decided that offloading Draxler will be important.

That could play into Arsenal’s hands, as they are said to be keen on the German playmaker.

It was reported last month by Fussball Transfers that Arsenal were stepping up their chase of Draxler.

Arsenal were said to have requested information on the £30 million-rated (Goal) playmaker, with Mikel Arteta keen to bring him in.

Draxler could be a replacement for Mesut Ozil at Arsenal, as he looks likely to depart this term.

Arsenal are thought to be keen to get Ozil’s wages off their books, as he is their highest earner.

And if Ozil does depart that it seems that a move for Draxler is far from out of the question, with PSG apparently so keen to sell.
