3 Clubs that should sign Draxler – Arsenal, Liverpool, And Tottenham
Just barely a year after completing a big-money move to Wolfsburg, Julian Draxler is all set to leave the Bundesliga club this season. The German star has been linked with a move to many clubs and it does come as a surprise for the fact that the youngster had just moved to his new club. He openly revolted against his current club and gave an explosive interview where he expressed his desire to leave the German club.
He said,
‘I expressed myself clearly after the Euros, with coach Dieter Hecking, that I want to leave Wolfsburg. 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.’
Whatever does happen, Draxler is one of the best in the world but his growth has stagnated a bit and he does need to play more and learn more if does want to become one of the world’s best. The talent is there but for some reason, he cannot affect game as much as the likes of Leroy Sane or even Mario Gotze to an extent.
He needs to gain experience and maybe a move to a Premier League club could give him the confidence needed to become what he potentially could be, a superstar. Here are three Premier League clubs that should answer his “get me” plea.
Arsenal
The most obvious club to save him from the torment that is Wolfsburg. Arsenal have been linked with a move for the 22-year-old German and it is a surprise he has not joined his other national side teammates Per Mertesacker and Mesut Ozil.
Draxler would provide Arsenal with a great option to use upfront and would also solve the dilemma of playing Theo Walcott in the side. The German might be a little pricey given Wolfsburg’s transfer dealings but Arsene Wenger is the man who can save Draxler and maybe give him another lease on life this season.
There are many other clubs who can break the bank and sign a player of Draxler’s ability and it would be a good match for the playmaker as well if he does move to the Emirates.
Liverpool
While having a Frenchman in charge is not a bad thing, there is nothing better than having a German on your side. Liverpool look like a Jurgen Klopp team but the side could use a bit of a spark and that is exactly what Draxler can provide to this team.
Liverpool have looked short of attacking quality last season and even at the start of preseason and bringing in the 22-year-old would certainly pay dividends. Jurgen Klopp and Liverpool will not pay over the odds to bring Draxler in but the fact the German does want to leave the club does put the Premier League side in a better position to make a bid.
This would mean that Liverpool would need to sell someone for a lot of money and all eyes fall on Christian Benteke who is set to leave Liverpool for Crystal Palace this season for a deal rumoured to be close to £32 million.
Tottenham
Tottenham have been one of those surprise sides but the Premier League club haven’t really brought a lot of options into their team when it comes to the attack. Sure they have Vincent Janssen but where is the cover for the likes of Christian Eriksen and Dele Alli?
Spurs do have the money to spend on a big name player and Julian Draxler does fit the bill for the side. He does need some time to get used to the whole “Mauricio Pochettino” bit and style of play but the German is a professional and shouldn’t have to worry too much about it.
Draxler probably does not want to stay in Germany even and a move to the Premier League is imminent, the question is which club is willing to break the bank for the talented player?
Arsenal host Chelsea at the Emirates Stadium on Sunday in what could prove decisive for the Gunners’ Premier League title ambitions. Arsenal sit top of the table with 61 points from 28 matches, five points clear of Manchester City, who still have a game in hand, while Chelsea occupy 7th with 45 points after being held to a frustrating 1-1 draw by Burnley at Stamford Bridge last weekend.
This represents a huge opportunity for Mikel Arteta’s side to put further distance between themselves and the chasing pack before facing Brighton away on Wednesday. Chelsea arrive at the Emirates in patchy form under Liam Rosenior, who has won just two of his eight league matches since replacing Enzo Maresca in January despite an encouraging start to his tenure.
Kick-off: 4:30 GMT, Sunday, March 1, 2026
Venue: Emirates Stadium
TV: Sky Sports
Kai Havertz Returns to Haunt Former Club
Mikel Arteta confirmed on Friday that Kai Havertz will train on Saturday ahead of the Chelsea clash, giving the German a chance to feature against his former employers. Havertz has been sidelined with a hamstring injury since early February, but scored the winner in Arsenal’s 1-0 Carabao Cup semi final victory over Chelsea earlier this month.
The 26 year old has endured a nightmare campaign with injuries limiting him to just 158 Premier League minutes this season, though he has still managed two goals and two assists when available. Viktor Gyokeres has flourished in Havertz’s absence, scoring twice in the 4-1 North London Derby demolition of Tottenham last weekend.
Rosenior Yet to Face Top Six Opposition
Liam Rosenior faces his first test against a top six side in the league since taking charge of Chelsea, having only faced teams sitting 7th or lower during his opening eight matches. His winning run needs proper context, given the quality of opposition, with recent dropped points against Leeds and Burnley at Stamford Bridge exposing serious vulnerabilities.
Arteta has beaten Rosenior twice already this season in the two legged Carabao Cup semi final, and the Spanish manager will fancy his chances of completing a treble over the Chelsea boss. Bukayo Saka should be fit despite limping off late against Spurs, while Ben White remains doubtful with a niggle.
Predicted Lineups: Arsenal (4-3-3): Raya; White, Saliba, Gabriel, Timber; Rice, Zubimendi, Odegaard; Saka, Gyokeres, Eze
Chelsea (4-2-3-1): Sanchez; James, Disasi, Colwill, Cucurella; Fernandez, Caicedo; Madueke, Palmer, Mudryk; Jackson

Update Given Following Arsenal Injury Scare as Olivia Smith Discharged From Hospital After Being Stretchered Off During FA Cup Win Over Bristol City
Arsenal star Olivia Smith has been discharged from hospital after being stretchered off the field during their Women’s FA Cup game against Bristol City. The forward, who joined the Gunners in the summer, played just under an hour before being forced off with pictures showing a neck brace around the 21 year old at Meadow Park.
This was a worrying moment for Arsenal supporters watching on Sunday afternoon. The Canadian international went down, receiving lengthy treatment before being taken off on a stretcher as a precaution. Thankfully, the injury appears to be far less serious than initially feared.
Left Hospital Yesterday Evening
According to Arsenal reporter Tim Stillman, Olivia Smith left the hospital yesterday evening after tests were run and will return to be assessed this week ahead of the March international break. This is brilliant news for Arsenal, who cannot afford to lose Smith for any length of time, given her importance to the team.
It is believed that her involvement with Canada is still up in the air, with the Canucks facing a triple header of friendlies against Colombia, Argentina, and the United States over the coming two weeks. Arsenal’s next match sees them face London City Lionesses in mid March.
Big Boost for Champions League Hopes
With no video available for Arsenal’s cup game against Bristol City, there was huge concern surrounding Smith’s condition for those unable to attend the game at Meadow Park. Thankfully, what seemed initially to be a severe injury has turned out to be a fairly minor incident.
While Stina Blackstenius and Alessia Russo are both more than capable options to lead the line, it has been Smith who has been Renee Slegers’ favoured choice and proven to be a brilliant signing since her arrival from Liverpool. Having Smith likely available for both legs of the Chelsea Champions League quarter final is a massive boost for Arsenal’s hopes of retaining their European crown.

Arsenal Star Named WSL Player of the Month for January as Midfielder Continues Outstanding Form Following 400th Appearance Milestone
Kim Little has been named January’s Barclays Women’s Super League Player of the Month, recognition that follows her 400th appearance for Arsenal. The captain has made an outstanding start to 2026, completing every minute in the WSL and helping secure two clean sheets and four points from fixtures against Manchester United and Chelsea.
Little drove the midfield against United in the 0-0 draw at the Emirates Stadium and was again pivotal in the disciplined defensive display at Stamford Bridge that delivered that historic 2-0 win over the Blues. This is absolutely deserved recognition for one of Arsenal’s most influential players, who continues to perform at the highest level despite being 35 years old.
400th Appearance Came in Belgium
Little’s landmark 400th appearance came in Belgium as Arsenal won 4-0 at OH Leuven to close in on a Champions League London derby with Chelsea. The Scottish playmaker came on as a second half substitute in the 82nd minute, replacing Olivia Smith, to reach 400 appearances.
This achievement is even more notable given the time she spent playing in the USA and Australia during her career. Little has become one of the defining figures of the modern Arsenal era, establishing herself as an absolute legend at the club.
Chelsea Awaits in Champions League Quarterfinals
Provided nothing dramatic unfolds at Meadow Park next week, Chelsea awaits in the quarterfinals of the UEFA Women’s Champions League. Arsenal hold a commanding 4-0 advantage from the first leg and are overwhelming favorites to progress to a mouth watering London derby in the last eight.
Little will be central to Arsenal’s hopes of defending their Champions League crown, with the midfielder’s experience and leadership qualities proving invaluable during the knockout stages of major competitions. Her consistent performances continue to set the standard for everyone around her.
