Arsenal transfer news: Alexis Sanchez could join PSG in swap deal for Julian Draxler
ARSENAL are reportedly considering a huge swap deal involving Alexis Sanchez for Paris Saint-Germain star Julian Draxler this January.
The Gunners forward is out of contract next summer and remains determined to leave the Emirates.
He thought he had gotten his wish on deadline, but a last-minute move to Manchester City collapsed after the North London side failed sign a replacement.
However, the Daily Star are claiming that Arsene Wenger is weighing-up whether to offer the Chilean in exchange for PSG's out-of-favour German attacker in January.
The Emirates boss has been a long-term admirer of the 24-year-old Draxler.
And the French giants are believed to be keen to offload the ace, despite only signing him in January.
Draxler scored during the 6-2 win over Bordeaux this weekend and is seen by Wenger as a like-for-like replacement.
Sanchez, 28, has been an isolated figure at times since his City move was halted and has been a difficult character for the Arsenal boss to handle.
