Coral’s five destinations for Schalke starlet Julian Draxler

Long tipped to be the next German superstar, versatile Schalke sensation Julian Draxler could finally be set for a move away from the Royal Blues to pastures new in the Premier League.

Reports suggest the talented 21-year-old is on champions Manchester City’s rarefied radar, so we speculate where else daring dangerman Draxler could find a new home.

Arsenal
The Gunners apparently came ever so close to snapping up Schalke academy product Draxler in summer, but the move never materialised, with the Royal Blues rumoured to have stalled on a deal.

Arsene Wenger may be well stocked in the attacking midfield department, but that’s never stopped the Frenchman building for the future before, plus Lucas Podolski’s impending exit could open up a space in offence.

Arsenal, who were believed to be willing to pay the mooted £37m release clause, could certainly come back in for the Germany wingman and were supposedly planning to convert Draxler into a striker.

Bayern Munich
Bayern, 13/5 favourites to lift the Champions League, have a history of hoovering up the brightest Bundesliga-based talents, as seen by the recent purchases of Mario Gotze and Robert Lewandowski from bitter rivals Borussia Dortmund.

Pep Guardiola supposedly has his eye on magnificent wingman Marco Reus, but if the Dortmund lynchpin proves too difficult to acquire, may well turn his attentions to young gun Draxler instead.

The Bavarian giants will need to replace the ageing Franck Ribery and Arjen Robben at some point and would surely not want to see a top Die Mannschaft talent leave Germany for the Premier League.

Chelsea
Draxler dazzled against Jose Mourinho’s men at Stamford Bridge earlier this season, taking on the responsibility of being Schalke’s main attacking threat against the Blues boys.
