Your support makes all the difference.Julian Draxler, the Wolfsburg winger perennially linked with a move to Arsenal, has addressed the latest speculation about his future.
The Germany international has made no secret of his intention to leave Lower Saxony sooner rather than later, with Paris Saint-Germain and Liverpool reportedly joining the race for his signature.
Draxler has now confirmed that negotiations with prospective buyers have commenced, telling Bild: “I am in talks with a couple of clubs, but so far no decision has been made.
“We will all sit down and make a sensible decision that is suitable for us.”
Elsewhere, it has been suggested that Arsène Wenger is on the lookout for more options at left-back this winter.
According to the Daily Mail, Jose Luis Gaya, the Valencia defender, has caught the eye of the north London club’s scouts.
Apparently, Manchester City are also sniffing around the 21-year-old, who enjoys to roam forward from the backline having begun his career as a striker.
Carl Jenkinson, meanwhile, is a wanted man – away from the Emirates, at least.
The 24-year-old full-back is likely to leave Arsenal on loan next month and has four clubs interested in signing him on a temporary basis until the end of the season.
Aston Villa are now trailing Jenkinson, according to the Birmingham Mail, but face competition from a trio of Premier League strugglers - West Ham United, Hull City and Swansea City.
