Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger remains keen on Schalke midfielder Julian Draxler.
Gunners chief Ivan Gazidis held talks with Schalke on the final weekend of the summer market over the youngster, but the German club's outrageous terms ended any chance of a deal before the deadline.
The Sun says Arsenal face a fight with Juventus to land Draxler with the Serie A side ready to offer £34m for the 20-year-old German.
