Arsenal are ready to bid for VfL Wolfsburg outcast Julian Draxler.

The Sunday Express says Draxler, who was a target for Arsenal in the summer, has demanded a transfer after he was left out of the Wolfsburg squad to face Bayern Munich.

The Bundesliga side have said that German international Draxler, 23, has played his last game for them and he looks set to be sold when the transfer window opens next month.

Arsenal who are chasing the Premier League title are looking to bolster their squad and have already made an enquiry about the World Cup winner.

Gunners boss Arsene Wenger is set to open the cheque book next month with a £30 million move for Draxler.
