Arsenal are edging closer to signing VfL Wolfsburg striker Julian Draxler.

The Sun says the Bundesliga side have left out their key man for the trip to Bayern Munich as reports in Germany suggest he will never play for the club again.

Draxler's attitude both on and off the pitch has also been heavily criticised.

The World Cup winner was hoping to leave in the summer but a deal failed to materialise as Wolfsburg refused to let him go.

Now relationship between club and player has hit rock bottom as it's suggested the German side will accept any offers around £30million in January.

The news will come as a massive boost for Gunners boss Arsene Wenger who is a keen admirer of the attacking midfielder.
