| Julian Draxler is to turn down a contract extension at Schalke |
JULIAN DRAXLER has rejected a contract extension at Schalke, according to reports.
The Germany winger is coveted by Arsenal, Manchester United and Serie A side Juventus.
United were linked with a late move for Draxler after missing out on Pedro, who joined Chelsea.
But Juventus are thought to be in negotiations with the German side and are the front-runners for his signature.
Arsene Wenger has monitored his progress for the last two summers and was linked with a move again this morning.
Draxler, 21, is keen for a fresh start after an injury hit campaign.
Capped 15 times by the German national team, the winger was dubbed one of the most promising youngsters in Europe.
He was in Joachim Low's World Cup squad last summer but only made eight starts last season.
He has featured Schalke's two Bundesliga games so far this season, though, playing full matches on both occasions.
