Draxler wins PSG praise after dream debut

Paris Saint-Germain head coach Unai Emery expects Julian Draxler to gain a boost in confidence following his goalscoring debut against Bastia on Saturday.

The Germany international, who joined from Wolfsburg in a deal that could reportedly rise to €47million, scored PSG's final goal in a 7-0 thrashing after coming on as a substitute in the Coupe de France tie at Parc des Princes.

Draxler struggled to settle after moving to Wolfsburg from Schalke and was omitted from the squad for disciplinary reasons on one occasion this season, but Emery hopes he has now been given the mental lift he needs.
