Julian Draxler, PSG

Draxler only joined the French giants a year ago, but after their record-breaking purchase of Neymar this past summer the club are looking to balance their books and comply with Financial Fair Play regulations.

Neymar’s purchase was also accompanied by the signing of another winger, Kylian Mbappé. These two have made Draxler surplus to requirements, and as the saying goes, one man’s trash is another man’s treasure.

The German is only 24 years old which means he has room to grow. A change of scenery and regular playing time could help him reach the ceiling that he hinted at during his time with Wolfsburg.

He has primarily played in the center of the park for PSG, but has also been used as a right attacking midfielder. He’s equally skilled with both feet and is a physical specimen, demonstrating high levels of speed and strength.

Similar to Lemar, his versatility would be key to this Arsenal side.
