Julian Draxler is again being linked with a move to Arsenal, but the Paris Saint-Germain forward appears determined not to let the rumours affect his focus.

The Germany international has not featured in either of his side’s opening two matches of the Ligue 1 season having been given an extended summer break following his exploits at the Confederations Cup.

After a couple of turbulent years, Draxler appeared to have found his long-term home when he joined PSG in January from Wolfsburg, but the world record signing of Neymar has placed his future in doubt once again.

On Thursday, L’Equipe claimed the 23-year-old had been told he was surplus to manager Unai Emery’s requirements with PSG keen to recoup some of the £198million they splashed out on Neymar.

But judging by his latest Instagram post, Draxler appears to be doing his best to keep a positive frame of mind, posting a picture of himself in the gym accompanied by the message ‘new season, new focus’.



Draxler’s agent Roger Witterman attempted to play down speculation his client could be on the move again before the summer window closes, insisting the former Schalke star was settled in the French capital.

Witterman told Bild: ‘Draxler will stay and will not be sold this summer.

‘Paris is building a group with the best players in the world at every post, and Julian is one of them and he wants to continue to be part of it.’
