3 massive January deals Arsenal missed out on

Julian Draxler

Long-time Arsenal target Julian Draxler finally left German side Wolfsburg in January, but he didn’t move to the Emirates.

Instead, French champions Paris Saint-Germain secured a deal for the German international after he become increasingly unhappy at Wolfsburg, to the point that he actually had a poor first half of the season where he didn’t net in any of his 14 appearances for the club.

Reports at the start of December linked the 23-year-old with a move to Arsenal, mainly as a result of the uncertainty surrounding the futures of Alexis Sanchez and Mesut Ozil, and speculation just a few days before he signed for PSG suggested that he was in talks with the Gunners about a potential move.

Nonetheless, Draxler moved to the French capital, and has already showed Arsenal what they’re missing with two goals in his first three games for Unai Emery’s side.
