Arsenal are facing competition from Real Madrid for Schalke midfielder Julian Draxler. The Mail on Sunday says reports in Spain suggest Draxler is now on Real's radar.
Gunners boss Arsene Wenger insisted he would not pay 'over the top' for the 20-year-old Schalke player in the January transfer window when the fee moved up from around £30million to £37m.
It remains to be seen whether that decision will come back to haunt Wenger if Arsenal's assault on trophies falters yet again because his squad - in need of a goal scorer - comes up short.
