He thought he had gotten his wish on deadline, but a last-minute move to Manchester City collapsed after the North London side failed sign a replacement.

However, the Daily Star are claiming that Arsene Wenger is weighing-up whether to offer the Chilean in exchange for PSG's out-of-favour German attacker in January.

The Emirates boss has been a long-term admirer of the 24-year-old Draxler.

And the French giants are believed to be keen to offload the ace, despite only signing him in January.

Draxler scored during the 6-2 win over Bordeaux this weekend and is seen by Wenger as a like-for-like replacement.

Sanchez, 28, has been an isolated figure at times since his City move was halted and has been a difficult character for the Arsenal boss to handle.

Draxler is seen as a trouble-free alternative for the South American.

Sanchez is free to talk to any foreign club from January and looks certain not to agree a new deal to extend his stay in the capital.

So far this season he has contributed one goal and two assists in his seven appearances for the Gunners.
