Arsenal is expected to pick up their pursuit of Julian Draxler in the summer.

Draxler has four years left on his current deal with Schalke, and his release clause of over £35 million would need to be met in order to acquire him, but Heldt is confident he will stay put.

General manager Horst Heldt told Sky Deutschland: "I definitely believe that he will be staying at our club for the new season.

"Julian (Draxler) is an important player in our squad, he is playing regular matches and he is doing quite well."
