Arsenal are plotting a late bid for Paris Saint-Germain playmaker Julian Draxler after being informed that he’s available for £32million.

The German international is surplus to requirements under Unai Emery and the French giants want to recoup some cash after breaking the world transfer record to sign Neymar.

Arsene Wenger’s interest in Draxler extends back to 2014 and the Gunners have tried to sign the German on a number of occasions.

Paris Saint-Germain have informed Arsenal that Draxler is available for just £32m and the Gunners are said to be considering their next move, according to the Times.

Wenger admitted this week that he is trying to trim his squad but he said there is room for an ‘exceptional’ player to join the club.

‘We are open to an exceptional player,’ Wenger told Sky Sports.

‘However, just to remind you we have 33 players here and they are all good players

‘That’s unmanageable so to bring one more player in for the sake of it would be stupid, but if we find an exceptional one, we will do it.’

The Gunners have signed Sead Kolasinac and Alexandre Lacazette so far this summer but there are funds available should Wenger wish to move into the market again.

Dortmund and Inter Milan are also reported to be interested in Draxler but the German would prefer to move to north London if he had the option.
