Arsenal fan favourite asks Wenger to sign explosive midfielder; Star set for January move - originally posted on Sportslens.com
Wolfsburg midfielder Julian Draxler is set to leave the German outfit in January.
The 23-year-old attacking midfielder was linked with a move to Arsenal during the summer, but the move never quite materialised. However, it seems that Wolfsburg are ready to let the player leave now after falling out with him.
As per the latest report, Arsenal star Mesut Ozil has asked the Gunners to sign Draxler in January.
There is no doubt that Draxler has the ability to develop into a world class player in future and signing him for the right money would be a fantastic coup for the Premier League giants. However, his arrival could be damaging for the likes of Iwobi, Walcott or Chamberlain. Draxler better than all three and operates in a similar role. Having said that, if Arsenal do sign him, it will be a major boost for them as a club. Draxler would definitely improve the Gunners going forward.
It will be interesting to see if Wenger takes Ozil’s suggestion and makes a move for the Wolfsburg midfielder when the window opens in a few weeks. Furthermore, considering the situation with Alexis Sanchez, signing Draxler could prove to be beneficial in the long run as well. The Chilean is demanding a lot of money and if an agreement is not reached, he could leave the club in near future. In that case, Draxler could be an able replacement.
