Julian Draxler has revealed that Arsenal were in contact with his camp, before he signed for Paris Saint-Germain in the January transfer window .
Draxler left Wolfsburg for the Ligue 1 champions and has already scored four times in six appearances across all competitions.
“I had some good years in Germany but I wanted to experience something different,” the 23-year-old told TF1’s Telefoot.
“For that reason, I chose to join PSG.
“The directors and coach at Wolfsburg have changed. I was on good terms with them and we decided it was best if I left. I listened to my heart and chose PSG as they play in a style that suits me best.
“I had several options though. Arsenal had been in contact since about two or three years ago but I was not in touch with them this winter [before joining PSG].”
Draxler also spoke on settling in quickly into Unai Emery’s team, where he has made the left wing his spot.
“At first, I said I wanted to play in the No. 10 role,” Draxler said.
“However, the team needs me more on the left to create chances from there. That is my best role with PSG, where I am most useful.
“I am proud to be here and I hope to bring something to the team. I have won two or three titles so far in my career but that is not enough, I always want more. This is the club I needed in order to achieve that.”
