If reports from Dailymail are to be believed, Gunners Boss Arsene Wenger will not be deterred to make an audacious £37m bid FC Schalke’s Julian Draxler in the coming days. The 20 year old German wonder kid needs specialist treatment for a ruptured tendon casting a major doubt over his move to the London side. Well, it’s still unclear the extent of Draxler’s ruptured tendon and till when he might miss out regularly, but here are the three reasons why Arsenal must pursue their chase of Julian Draxler despite his injury.
Attacking prowess:
Given Arsenal’s wafer thin squad, their title aspirations and need for an apt striker to support Giroud up front, I for one wouldn’t be surprised if Wenger does mould him into a lone front man. With an exquisite ball control, enviable dynamism and vision, Draxler is highly rated in his native Germany. His maturity is beyond his years and with Schalke hierarchy admitting they are powerless to stop him moving, once his release clause is met, this perhaps might be the right time to pounce for the Gunners. His dazzling ability likens him to former Gunner Robin Van Persie, who had that imperious eye for goals and could change any game by the scruff of its neck.
