Arsenal Set To Offer £37m For 20-Yr-Old Wonderkid, Julian Draxler

                 
Arsenal will not be deterred from launching an audacious £37million move for Julian Draxler this month despite the German wonderkid needing specialist treatment for a ruptured tendon.


Arsene Wenger has been strongly linked with an imminent bid for Schalke’s attacking midfielder, and there were even suggestions he could be heading to London for a medical this week.

But Sportsmail can reveal that the 20-year old is heading to Munich, instead, for treatment to a ruptured tendon that will keep him out until March.

Arsenal are ready to splash out on the German wonderkid whom they believe can be the next Robin van Persie and the injury concerns are not a concern.

They are prepared to meet the release clause for Draxler, 20, who has been identified as a priority target for the Gunners after an intensive scouting drive.

Arsene Wenger’s staff believe Draxler, who plays as an attacking midfielder for Schalke, has the attributes to play as a lone centre forward.

Arsenal think Draxler has similar qualities to those of Van Persie and Thierry Henry, who arrived in north London as wingers but became prolific goal scorers.
