Why did Arsenal not sign Julian Draxler

Arsenal had made a late move for Julian Draxler at the end of the January transfer and although it seemes like a tough deal to complete, it was possible. But reports suggested that Schalke had pulled the plug on the deal at the last minute.

It is believed that Arsenal will attempt to sign Draxler in the summer following their failure to land him in the January transfer window.

However, TV pundit Jan Aage Fjortoft has said that Arsenal failed in their attempts to sign the 20 year old because Bayern Munich managed to stop the deal and said that they will “take him in the summer”.

There was even more confusion as the director of sport at Schalke admitted there had been a bid for Draxler earlier in the window, but it was not from Arsenal.

He did not confirm the name of the club that the bid came from but did say that the bid “came from a club to the north of us”. This statement would geographically rule out the Gunners.
