Draxler hints at Schalke exit, admits he is a big fan of Ozil

Schalke 04′s star player Julian Draxler, has opened the door for a possible move from Germany, after admitting that it would be a dream to play for a big European club.
The attacking midfielder has been linked with Arsenal and Chelsea in the past, but ended up signing a new deal with the Bundesliga side last summer, but in an interview with Daily Express, he revealed that he is not rooted there.
“I owe Schalke a lot, I have always been at Schalke. I need to emphasise this. But I ‘m not so rooted here that I could not tear myself away,” he said.
“I can honestly say that it is my dream to play for one of the big clubs at some point.

“You don’t have to be playing for the very top clubs in Europe to draw attention to yourself, but if you want to achieve the great goals that the world-class players have, then one of them is playing at the biggest clubs in the world.”
When he was quizzed about some of the clubs that might interest him, he replied: “The big two in Spain – Real and Barcelona – Bayern and a few others from England, namely Arsenal, Manchester United and Chelsea.”
Draxler also admitted that he is modelling himself on Germany team-mate Mesut Ozil, who moved from Real Madrid to Arsenal.
He said: “I’ve always said I’m a big fan of Mesut Ozil, who ventured abroad and developed at Real Madrid into a world-class player.
“Just to be a teammate of his [with the German national team] makes me quite proud.”
