Arsenal are weighing up a move for PSG forward Julian Draxler this summer, according to Fussball Transfers.

Transfer News: Arsenal set to sign Mat Ryan in deal up to £5 million Arsenal are closing in on the permanent capture of Brighton & Hove Albion loanee Mat Ryan, who is expected to cost around £5 million.

What's the latest transfer news involving Draxler?

Draxler claimed that he was 'a little homesick' last month, appearing to signal that a return to the Bundesliga was on the cards. His management team are understood to have reached out to Bayern Munich recently.

However, this has not put Arsenal off monitoring the attacker, and he is believed to be on their list of possible targets ahead of the upcoming transfer window.

One fan on The Football Terrace can't stand the hypocrisy shown by supporters throughout the European Super League scandal...

How much is Draxler worth and when does his contract expire?

The 27-year-old signed for PSG from Wolfsburg in 2017 for £32.4m. The French champions are in danger of not receiving any fee in the coming months, though, as Draxler is out of contract in June. At this point, he will become a free agent.

PSG manager Mauricio Pochettino reportedly rates Draxler highly, but this will not be enough on its own to keep the German international, who is said to not be making progress in his contract negotiations with the club.

What are Draxler's stats this season?

Draxler has made 20 appearances for PSG this term in Ligue 1, and been directly involved in six goals (via WhoScored). Alexandre Lacazette (15), Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (10) and Bukayo Saka (7) are the only Arsenal players who have contributed to more league goals in 2020/21.

He has also completed 27 key passes - only Saka (33) and Kieran Tierney (29) have managed more for Mikel Arteta's men this year.

What has been said about Draxler?

Whilst he may not be an ever-present in the PSG side, Draxler is still highly-rated by his national team coach, Joachim Low.

Back in October, Low handed Draxler the captain's armband for Germany, and hinted that the winger is too good to just be sitting on the bench at club level.

As quoted by BuliNews, Low said: 'He has so much talent and quality, he needs to be playing regularly. He will lead the team out as captain tomorrow.'

Is the timing right for Arsenal?

Draxler has been linked with a move to Arsenal for some time now. Back in 2014, Arsene Wenger tried to sign him, but the Gunners failed to pull off the move in the end.

Had he arrived at that point, Arsenal would have been getting a young, hungry player, desperate to prove himself in the Premier League. Now, the question has to be asked: does he still have the same desire?

He has already achieved so much in the game, having won three league titles with PSG and, of course, lifted the World Cup seven years ago.

His career seems to have stagnated in recent years, and there must be doubts over whether he can reach the heights that he did in his younger years.

Arsenal have developed youngsters well over the past 12 months, with Bukayo Saka and Emile Smith Rowe making an impact in the first team. Perhaps they should continue with this policy, rather than taking a gamble on a player who has struggled to produce the goods consistently this season.

Arsenal are reportedly ready to join the race to sign West Ham loanee Jesse Lingard in the summer, as per the Daily Star.

Ever since his arrival in January, Lingard has reinvigorated his career and been in sensational form for the Hammers.

Across nine appearances, the 28-year-old has provided West Ham with 11 goal contributions (eight goals and three assists) and been a vital part of the Irons' success.

It's previously been reported that David Moyes' side are looking to bring Lingard to the London Stadium on a permanent basis. However, a spanner has recently been thrown into the works.

According to the Daily Star, Arsenal are interested in buying Lingard this summer and previously tried to lure the England international to the Emirates.

Mikel Arteta's side were apparently eager to take Lingard on loan in January but United opted to send the 28-year-old to West Ham, as they didn't want to hand the midfielder to Arsenal to help the Gunners.

However, this decision has slightly backfired as West Ham currently sit inside the top four.

But, the question is, would Lingard be a good signing for the Gunners?

GIVEMESPORT writers Tom Kelly, Sam Brookes and Josh Cole offer their verdict.

Tom Kelly

'Pretty pointless, if you ask me.

'Undoubtedly, Lingard has proven his natural ability and that he needs to leave Manchester United to play his best football. However, I do think Arsenal should steer clear of this one.

'Martin Odegaard needs to be Arsenal's top priority. He's been simply sensational since he arrived on loan from Real Madrid and played a vital role in Arsenal's surprise 3-3 draw against West Ham.

'After a settling in period, Odegaard now looks at home in an Arsenal shirt and was even named the club's Player of the Month.

'Forget about Lingard, the Norwegian should be the Gunners go-to man.'

Sam Brookes

'Sign him up!

'Lingard is absolutely flying at the moment. He simply can’t stop scoring. He bagged a brace last Sunday, finishing his first goal expertly.

'Some may question whether this is just a purple patch, but he has certainly added something to West Ham over the past two months, and he could do the same at Arsenal.

'The club needs some positivity after a dismal league campaign, and Lingard could be just the player to provide it. He seems to be enjoying his football once more, and his tireless work rate could lift the rest of the side if he moves to the Emirates.

'Lingard brings goals, assists and great enthusiasm to the table. Arsenal need all of those things, so should not hesitate in getting a deal done for him this summer.'

Josh Cole

'When you consider that Lingard had been forced to watch on from the sidelines during the first-half of the current campaign due to the presence of Bruno Fernandes at United, the impact that he has made at West Ham since joining them on loan has been nothing short of spectacular.

'With 11 goal contributions to his name already, there is no reason why the midfielder cannot force his way into the England squad for the upcoming European Championships if he continues to deliver the goods at the London Stadium.

'With a proven track-record of creating and scoring goals in the Premier League, Lingard could potentially take Arsenal's midfield to another level if they opt to splash the cash on him.

'Instead of taking a chance on Odegaard, the Gunners should draft in Lingard who may be able to fill a Mesut Ozil-shaped hole in their squad.
