Arsenal inching towards completing €50m move for Euro 2016 star

Arsenal’s proposed move for German attacker Julian Draxler has been long dragged out. In fact, the Gunners have been after the 22-year-old even before he joined Wolfsburg from Schalke 04 for just under €30m last season.

Now, according to Italian sources, Draxler, who was part of the German side that reached the semi-finals of Euro 2016, could finally be on his way to the Emirates with Wolfsburg ready to accept Arsenal’s €50m bid in order to fund a move for Juventus striker Simone Zaza.

Italian website tuttomercatoweb.com have claimed that while Wolfsburg had been looking to bring in Besiktas striker Mario Gomez this summer, they have rekindled their interest in Zaza.
