Draxler completes PSG move

Julian Draxler has completed his move to Paris Saint-Germain.

Wolfsburg confirmed last month that they had reached an agreement with the Ligue 1 champions for the Germany international and he finalised the move to Paris on Tuesday.

Draxler, who had been linked with both Arsenal and Juventus, has agreed a four-and-a-half year deal with the club for a fee believed to be in the region on €42million.

"It is with great joy and anticipation that I join Paris St Germain," Draxler told the club's official website.

"For the first time in my career, I'm going to discover a new country, a new league, and I'm very proud to take this new step at a club which has become a benchmark in Europe and has signed a lot of great players in recent years.

"I will do everything to help PSG win new trophies and continue to grow internationally."

Draxler joined Wolfsburg from Schalke for a club record fee in 2015 while he was part of the Germany's World Cup winning squad in 2014.

"I am delighted to welcome Julian Draxler to the Paris St Germain family," PSG chairman Nasser Al-Khelaifi commented.

"The transfer of this highly sought-after Germany international reconfirms just how attractive our club is to the world's most talented players.

"He has all the qualities to play a major role in the club's project and become a fan favourite.

"With the signature of Julian Draxler, we are maintaining PSG's extremely high ambitions, where all our supporters want us to see their club succeed."
