Julian Draxler is one of Germany's greatest talents, and so long as he finds himself behind the pecking order of the star-studded forward line at Paris Saint Germain, one can't help but feel his talents could be put to better use elsewhere.
A key player at international level and a fantastic attacking midfielder, it should come as no surprise that Liverpool have been linked with him before. Indeed, before he moved to PSG in January 2017 Liverpool did register an interest. It wasn't enough to tempt him obviously, but with opportunities limited at the Parc des Princes, and PSG having financial fair play to worry about it, a move for Draxler would make a whole load of sense.
Deployed primarily as a left sided attacker, it wouldn't be difficult to see Draxler operating either in the front three or behind them, should Klopp divest from the 4-3-3 that has served Liverpool so well these last few seasons.
WhatCulture's very own resident movie guy, Ewan has been working in the content creation biz for over 10 years now, having started as a freelance contributor to WhatCulture Gaming all the way back in 2015. After graduating with a First-Class Honours in History from Northumbria University in 2017 (where he won a prize for a totally killer dissertation on the Watergate years), Ewan took on the role of Comics Editor at WhatCulture and quickly developed WhatCulture Comics into one of the biggest superhero-focused channels on YouTube. He followed this with a brief hiatus at Screen Rant in 2021, where he worked across the Gaming and Film sections as a writer and editor, before returning to WhatCulture as a Senior Content Producer / Presenter in 2023. He started his own podcast, We Love Dad Movies, in 2022, and has contributed several written pieces to the Eisner-nominated comics website Shelfdust as well.
In his current role, Ewan incorporates his love of cinema, comic books, and history into written pieces and video essays for WhatCulture's Film & TV channel, as well as WhatCulture Gaming and WhatCulture Horror, with a particular focus on nineties-era Dad Movies, old school Westerns, and Golden Age Hollywood Noir. John Carpenter is his fave, and he thinks Batman Beyond should never have been cancelled. If that's your vibe, you'll probably like his stuff.
