Arsenal Transfers: 10 DREAM Signings Arsene Wenger Could Make

4. Julian Draxler

With Arsenal lacking attacking impetus due to the aforementioned season-ending injury sustained by Theo Walcott earlier this season, Arsene Wenger is keen to sign Julian Draxler. The £35 million-rated 20-year-old, currently of German side Schalke 04, has been linked with a move to the Emirates for much of the winter window. And the Gunners hope to secure his services this month rather than risk losing out over the summer when competition is expected to hot up. Draxler is expected to spark a bidding war for his services at the end of the season with a series of top clubs interested, and Arsene Wenger is hoping to avoid the melee. The Germany international is considered one of the brightest young players in Europe and could directly replace the stricken Walcott. And the thought of him linking up with compatriot Mesut Ozil is surely a tantalising prospect for Gunners fans.
