Arsenal transfer news: PSG star Julian Draxler set to sign if Alexis Sanchez moves to Manchester City

Arsene Wenger has been a long-term of the 23-year-old German as he plots a move to bring him to the Emirates

ARSENAL have entered talks with Paris Saint-Germain over bringing Julian Draxler to the Emirates.

Arsene Wenger is a keen admirer of the 23-year-old, and will lure him away from Ligue 1 should Alexis Sanchez depart for Manchester City.

The Gunners have failed on numerous occasions to bring the German international to North London ever since he was a rising star at Schalke.

Subsequent moves to Wolfsburg and PSG have followed, but the FA Cup champions have identified the playmaker as the perfect replacement for their Chilean maestro.

According to The Telegraph, Wenger has revived his interest in him before the close of the transfer window, with the Coupe de France winners open to his departure.

The world-record signing of Neymar and the imminent arrival of Kylian Mbappe from Monaco have pushed the World Cup winner down the pecking order at the Parc des Princes.

Draxler is believed to have been in England a couple of weeks ago visiting Sead Kolasinac - a former Schalke team-mate.

He was part of Germany's side that clinched the Confederations Cup in the summer - winning the Golden Ball award, and reaffirming his status as one of the most talented players in Europe.

🚨 EXCLUSIVE OFFER: Premier League Top Goalscorer 🚨

ROMELU LUKAKU has come in to 2/1 to finish as the Premier League top scorer.

The Belgian scored twice against West Ham on Sunday to put an immediate market down in the Golden Boot race.

Harry Kane, who has NEVER scored a goal in August, is 2/1.

And there is value to be had in Alexandre Lacazette.

He is 8/1 even after scoring on his debut against Leicester last week.

Sun Bets have a blinding special offer for top scorer.

If you bet £25 on any player to top the table at the end of the season, they'll give a £5 free bet for every game he scores in until October.

The offer is valid until midnight August 27 and is open to ALL customers.

Germany manager Joachin Low previously said of Draxler's future: "I know for a fact that Paris don’t want to sell him. They are convinced of his outstanding qualities.

"He made such a big step forward there. I am convinced that he will come out on top at Paris. By now, he’s already playing a big role for us."

But a move to Wenger's side could materialise, but solely depends on the future of Sanchez.

The 28-year-old is reported to be desperate at sealing a switch to the Citizens, with Pep Guardiola set to offer a final bid of £70m.

A £50m offer was previously rebuffed by Arsenal who were declaring Raheem Sterling to be included in any deal.
