Draxler, 29, was once one of the most promising players in Europe after breaking into the Schalke team in 2011.

He made a move to Wolfsburg in 2015 however he would only stay at the club for one season.

The German’s made a big money move to Ligue 1 giants PSG in 2017 despite links to Arsenal.

Draxler was continually rumoured to be a target for the North London club however a move never came to fruition.

His time at the Parc des Princes was underwhelming as he struggled to find his best form and spent last season out on loan at Benfica.

However, fans were more surprised to see that the former German international was still playing.

One Tweeted: “This guy still plays football?”

A second commented: “I’m not gonna lie, I completely forgot about him.”
