€46m Playmaker Nearing a Move to Arsenal

Arsenal and Everton fought out a fantastic 1-1 draw at the Emirates yesterday as Gunners go 5 points clear of Liverpool and Chelsea at the top.
Arsene Wenger’s men are flying high but they surely need more top quality signings to build a side that will be brilliant for the years to come.
Gunners are interested in various signings this winter. The priority is going to be a striker, however they may as well lure German international Julian Draxler in next summer which will be fantastic move.
Earlier this month, Express reported that Arsenal are favorites to sign Draxler who has a release clause of €46m in his contract.
Now according to ESPN, the German club Schalke are ready to seal the deal for Bayer Leverkusen attacking midfielder Sidney Sam.
Not to forget, Draxler claimed he would like to play for Arsenal sometime in future and renowned Journalist Jan Aage Fjortoft who first broke the news that Ozil is going to Arsenal revealed on twitter that Gunners are favorites for Draxler.
In such a scenario, the signing of Sidney Sam may as well indicate that the versatile playmaker will leave Schalke and as per reports nearing a move to Arsenal.
25 year old Sam has been better than Draxler this season having scored 7 league goals and also set up 5 assists in 13 appearances.
On the other hand, 20 year old Draxler has contributed directly in 6 goals playing 14 league games.
Gunners already have top quality attacking midfielders but Wenger wants more to compete with the best and signing of Julian will be fantastic.
