Transfer balls: Are Arsenal going to sign Julian Draxler? Yes, says the Metro, Arsenal are “finally” going to get the Schalke flyer.

The Metro’s source is TribalFootball, which reports its own source:

BILD says Schalke may be forced to sell Draxler to fund a move for Xherdan Shaqiri.

Inter Milan midfielder Shaqiri has been linked with Stoke in recent weeks but Schalke want to keep him in the Bundesliga with a £12million bid.

Linked with Stoke, or agreed to join them, as Sky Sports, “understood”:

Shaqiri never did join Stoke, as the Telegraph put it:

Stoke City have scrapped their £12million pursuit of Xherdan Shaqiri after the Inter Milan midfielder failed to respond to the club’s deadline.

But Draxler to Arsenal is a certainty, right?

Jan 2014, Daily Mirror: “Arsenal and Schalke agree fee for Julian Draxler”

Jan 2014, Daily Telegrapah: “Julian Draxler aims to seal £36m move to Arsenal”

Feb 2014, The Week: “Arsenal agree Morata deal, but Man U wreck Draxler move”

Such are the facts…
