Liverpool and Arsenal had previously been interested in signing Draxler , but the 23-year-old has now signed a four-and-a-half- year deal at the French champions.

Bundesliga team, Wolfsburg, had already confirmed the German forward would be departing once a medical had been completed, and Draxler is delighted to have joined a team challenging for titles.

“It is with great joy and great anticipation that I join Paris Saint-Germain,” Draxler told PSG'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.
