Schalke attacker Draxler: I did have Arsenal offer

Schalke star Julian Draxler has confirmed an offer from Arsenal. The 20-year-old Germany international was courted by the Gunners in January, but they decided on a loan deal for Kim Kallstrom instead.

"In January there was the offer of Arsenal, but I decided to stay," Draxler told BBC Sport.

"I will do the same this summer. I want to play one year more in Schalke."
