Juventus have had their lethargic £15.8million bid for Julian Draxler knocked back and the media now report that Arsenal would want to make the most out of the chaos by launching an ambitious bid for his services.

Schalke are reported to be willing to set him free and apparently are only holding out for an improved offer.

Arsenal can, thus, unite the World Cup winner with compatriots Per Mertesacker and Mesut Ozil with a bid worth £30million.

Given the claims of Lord Harris, the Gunners should find no struggle whilst bringing down the German sensation, but then again, his availability and mammoth funds account for nothing, if the French manager does not sense his need.

Arsene Wenger is known to be a long-term admirer of the left winger, but the Emirates Stadium already seems to have enough supply of wingers.

However, in the event of deploying Alexis Sanchez as a centre-forward, the 21-year-old could make sure that no job of the Chilean goes unaddressed.

Having almost lost out on signing prime targets in Karim Benzema, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Gonzalo Higuain, the London side are left only with the likes of Fernando Llorente to do business with.

Arsene Wenger is wiser than bringing down an out-of-shape striker and can be billed to instead bring down a world-class talent like Julian Draxler.
