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.

Draxler has since fallen out with Wolfsburg supporters after they booed him when he came on as a substitute in the 3-2 defeat against Hertha Berlin on Saturday.

And 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.

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

Wenger will be keen to lure the talent to the Emirates especially as fears grow over the futures of Alexis Sanchez and Mesut Ozil.

However they may face competition from Paris Saint-Germain.
