Arsenal’s hopes of signing Julian Draxler this summer have been reduced as the players agent says it is ‘highly unlikely’ he will stay at Schalke. 

Draxler, was heavily subject of interest from Arsenal in January, but a deal was not struck. It is thought that manager Arsene Wenger is still very keen on signing the 20 year-old in the summer, but Draxlers agent claims that the midfielder will not be moving.

The players agent, Roger Wittman, believes that the midfielder should see out his contract with his current club and claims that there is not reason for the Draxler to leave. He told SportBild.de: “Why should a player leave the club if the club have just built a top team?”.

“I also think it’s good if players stick to what they have signed. “It would take an awful lot to happen for one of the two of them to leave. And even then I’m not sure it would be possible.

“The players understand that there is currently a lot of peace at the club and a lot of optimism about their future there.” “Those sentiments were echoed by Schalke chairman Clemens Torries, who said: “If nothing extraordinary happens, Julian will stay with us”.

“I am convinced that he will play even longer than this one next season at Schalke. Then we will see”
