Arsenal: 3 better PSG transfer targets than Mauro Icardi

2. Julian Draxler

Julian Draxler is another guy who has a lengthy history of being linked to the Emirates, and it has kicked back up recently. The Arsenal attack could definitely use an uptick in options and creativity—moreso than they need another overpaid striker—and Julian Draxler is a fantastic choice.

Believe it or not, Draxler is still an elite attacking option. He always was when he was searching for a long-term home, the problem is just that he chose the wrong location. PSG has not been the best for him, despite him proving that he’s still a creative force.

Now that he’s come back down to earth and isn’t the transfer darling of the world, obtaining him for relatively cheap is a very realistic prospective move and his affinity with Mesut Ozil would serve the club well.

Draxler can play the No. 10 role, but can also play a wide midfield role if need be. He’s versatile, he’s creative, he’s an excellent ball carrier and the more I think about it, the more his stock has to raise in the transfer spectrum.

A familiar No. 1.
