Arsenal aim to close Draxler deal with Schalke by end of day

Arsenal could close a deal for Schalke star Julian Draxler by the end of the day.

The Mail on Sunday says Arsenal have moved a step closer to taking Schalke's Julian Draxler to the club with a deal expected to be finalised this weekend.

The two clubs are still in negotiations for the 20-year-old but the player wants to move to the club and the expectation on both sides is that a compromise will be reached this week.

Arsenal do not want to go higher than £30million while Schalke want close to £35m. Ultimately Arsenal are likely to agree to a deal with additional clauses that could bring the fee up to what Schalke want.
