Arsenal Transfers: 5 Last-Minute Signings For Wenger To Target
4. Julian Draxler (Schalke 04)
There is plenty of speculation in the air at the moment that Arsene Wenger is planning to secure the services of German wonderkid Julian Draxler in this transfer window, and I think its fair to say that it would be the sort of signing that would make people sit up and take notice like Ozil did in the summer. However, if reports are to be believed then Wenger is planning something of a project if he is successful in recruiting the player; Wenger has been known to change players positions in the past, and it appears he wants to do the same with Draxler by turning him into a striker. Nevertheless, its easier to do our analysis at the moment with the player as he is; position aside Draxler is a fantastic talent and would be a fine addition to the Premier League. The 20-year-old has been one of the best players in the Bundesliga this season with an average rating of 7.76; he has also contributed a goal and four assists from his 14 appearances so far this season.
