Hurry up and sign Draxler, says Mertesacker

Arsenal defender Per Mertesacker has urged the club to ‘hurry up and sign’ Schalke midfielder Julian Draxler after labelling him as a ‘great talent’.

Arsene Wenger is interested in signing the Germain international this month, and is willing to spend up to £35million for the 20-year-old attacking-midfielder.

Reports earlier this week suggested that Wenger wants to bring in Draxler and convert him into a striker, similar to what he did with Thierry Henry and Robin Van Persie, both who went on to become lethal strikers in front of goal.

Speaking in Germany, Mertesacker was full of praise for his counterpart and admitted that he’d love the club to sign him.

‘He [Draxler] is a great talent,’ Mertesacker told the German media.

‘He has already make a big impact at Schalke and in the German national team, despite his young age.

‘He would be very welcome here.

‘I’m excited to see what happens. You hear a lot of rumours this time of year.’
