Arsenal Transfer News: Gunners To Sign Julian Draxler?

Daily Mail. Wenger will have a reported £70 million to spend in the summer transfer window and the German midfielder is said to make up part of his wishlist. At just 19, Draxler already has four caps for his country and became the youngest player to make 100 competitive appearances for Schalke in the game against Borussia Dortmund in March. He is valued by the Bundesliga outfit at £15 million, and has also attracted the attentions of a number of Europe's leading sides. But Wenger will be hoping to land his signature and money will not be an issue when the transfer window opens at the end of the season. The veteran Frenchman has been handed a huge war chest to spend in the summer as the Gunners try to end an eight-year trophy drought. Draxler has netted 11 goals and provided five assists for Jens Keller's side this term and is considered one of the most promising young players in Europe. A product of Schalke's youth academy, he has since made 104 appearances for Die Königsblauen, scoring a total of 19 goals in that period.
