Spurs Transfers: New First Team XI Based On Rumours

2. Julian Draxler - Schalke 04 (Attacking Midfielder)

Despite that, Spurs' offer is said to be in the region of £17 million but, like Rodriguez, this one seems extremely unlikely. At just 20 years of age, Draxler has already made 101 Bundesliga appearances for Schalke 04, having made his debut for the club back in 2011, and he has twelve international caps for Germany, for whom he has scored one goal. He is in the current Germany World Cup squad, but he was forced to wait until the 76th minute of the 7-1 semi-final thumping of Brazil before making his first appearance in the tournament. His impressive feet and movement in the final minutes of the game gave a good impression of a very promising young player - one who would be great for Spurs, but one who seems like a very long shot when it comes to actually signing for the White Hart Lane club.
