Liverpool are reportedly in for want-away Wolfsburg winger Julian Draxler, but have accepted that they could lose out to Paris Saint-Germain, who are said to already be in advanced talks with the Bundesliga side over a January move.
Jurgen Klopp has shown interest in signing the player, while Arsenal have been keen on taking him to London for quite some time.
Draxler himself has confirmed that talks have been held with more than one club, but no decision has yet been made. However, the latest news coming out of France report otherwise.
I am in talks with a couple of clubs, but so far no decision has been made," he said to Bild.
We will all sit down and make a sensible decision that is suitable for us.�

It is believed that Wolfsburg want £35m for the World Cup winner, a fee PSG are more than able to afford. And according to French publicationL'Equipe, a fee has already been agreed with the French champions.
If the report is to be believed, then Liverpool will have to actually play hijacker to pull the deal off.
The Reds are in the thick of things in the Premier League this season, and Klopp is thought to be desperate to bolster his midfield in order to sustain his side's challenge.
