Wolfsburg sign Draxler from Schalke


The attacking midfielder has completed his move, with Horst Heldt insisting it is the biggest transfer fee the Gelsenkirchen side have ever received

Wolfsburg have completed the signing of Julian Draxler from Schalke.

The 21-year-old attacking midfielder joins as a replacement for Kevin de Bruyne, who left for Manchester City on Sunday.

Germany international Draxler had been the subject of interest from Juventus throughout the summer, but the Serie A side failed to match Schalke's asking price and the deal collapsed.

Following De Bruyne's £55 million move, Wolfsburg have acted quickly, splashing out to sign the World Cup winner on a five year contract.
