The 23-year-old’s attitude both on and off the pitch has also come into question with Wolfsburg willing to listen to any offers of around £30million.

The player was also booed by his own supporters when he came on as a substitute in the 3-2 defeat against Hertha Berlin on Saturday as relationship between player and club hit rock bottom.

And according to French publication Le Parisien, PSG have stolen a march on the rest of their rivals having a €30m bid accepted for the midfielder whilst Arsenal have also joined the chase.

Draxler will now hold talks with the French giants over a potential January transfer.

But Arsene Wenger will be hoping Arsenal's strong German contingency will be enough to tempt Draxler into a move to the Emirates.

The Gunners have been linked with Draxler on numerous occasions and even launched a £43m bid for him in the summer.
