Paris Saint-Germain are reportedly ready to offer Julian Draxler to Arsenal as part of a transfer swoop for Gunners midfielder Matteo Guendouzi.
The Ligue 1 giants are seemingly admirers of Arsenal misfit Guendouzi, who is currently on loan at Hertha Berlin, and could try to tempt Arsenal into letting him go by offering them the chance to sign Draxler, according to L’Equipe.

We’re used to seeing Draxler and Arsenal together in transfer gossip stories, and perhaps this is finally the chance for the Germany international to end up at the Emirates Stadium.
Draxler has fallen out of favour at PSG and perhaps isn’t the exciting big-name addition he would have been seen as a few years ago, but he could strengthen a problem area in Mikel Arteta’s squad.
Mesut Ozil has just left for Fenerbahce and Arsenal lack creativity in midfield at the moment, with Draxler potentially an ideal candidate to provide that.
This also offers AFC a tempting way to offload Guendouzi, who has had his struggles in north London and who seems unlikely to be in Arteta’s long-term plans.
Arsenal should perhaps be cautious about losing the French youngster too soon, however, if a big club like PSG are so keen to snap him up.
Good deal
I believe Arsenal fc is bigger than the manager, as such there is need to address the issues of relationship mgt between players and the management otherwise if this is not handled the club will continue to lose players and this will become regrettable after changing the management, for me Guendouzi should not be sold
I agree with Benzama. Guendouzi should be allowed to return to Arsenal and play in the first team.
I think Arteta is someone that cannot forgive the past that has happened. He did say a while ago he was giving Matteo a clean sheet so why doesn’t he try him out and forget the past and concentrate on the now and future.
