Arsenal The Wrong Club For Bundesliga Star: Why Draxler Should Reject Gunners Move

Julian Draxler has been linked with a move from German side, Schalke, to Arsenal since early January. The Gunners failed to make a deal happen in the latter stages of the January window, much to the frustration of the Arsenal fans.

Draxler is a 20-year-old attacking midfielder who has netted 14 goals in his 96 appearances in all competitions. Not a brilliant goals to game ratio, but many fans forget how young players of high potential are and the demands they face as new players to the game.

I am unsure as to why Arsenal need another attacking midfielder. They clearly lack a goal scorer and a physical presence in midfield, but Arsene Wenger is spoiled for choice with attacking players, to support the striker. Mesult Ozil, Santi Cazorla and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain to name a few.

Draxler does have plenty of time and potential to flourish into a world class player, but I am not convinced that Arsenal is the right place for him to go at this stage in his career. A couple more seasons with first team experience would do the German international no harm at all. There will certainly still be interest in the coming years, so there is no need to rush at this present time.
