Arsenal have reportedly made an offer for Schalke 04's Julian Draxler.
The Gunners have been continually linked with a move for the attacking midfielder in this month's transfer window, and they have now made an official bid of around £25m, according to the Daily Star.
The 20-year-old has a buyout clause of £37m and the Bundesliga side are thought to be looking for around that figure for the talented playmaker.
However, the Gunners believe that they can snare Draxler with the incentive of performance-related add-ons.
