Arsenal ready to offer £30m for Julian Draxler

Arsenal are reportedly preparing a £30m offer for Germany international midfielder Julian Draxler, according to the Express.

The Premier League side, who defeated Stoke City 3-1 on Saturday afternoon at the Emirates Stadium in the English top-flight, have been continually linked with a move for the Wolfsburg star throughout previous transfer windows.

The report suggests Arsenal are ready to offer £30m for the want away winger.
