Julian Draxler - 5 things you need to know
Long-term Arsenal target Julian Draxler has confirmed he wants to leave Wolfsburg this summer, despite only joining the Bundesliga club a year ago.
The Germany international, who is valued at £52million by Wolfsburg, has also attracted interest from Serie A champions Juventus.
“I expressed myself clearly after the Euros, with coach Dieter Hecking, that I want to leave Wolfsburg," Draxler told German newspaper Bild. "The coach has known for more than three weeks.
“Two days after the semi-final defeat to France at the European Championships, I told him how I see the whole situation and what I want, which is to leave the club.
“I was verbally assured with my transfer in August 2015 that I can leave the club when given opportunities."
Meanwhile, French publication Le 10 Sport claim Arsenal are set to make a renewed bid for Lyon striker Alexandre Lacazette within the next few days.
