I haven't seen enough of Draxler to know myself.. But I see some of you say that the media saying Wenger will turn him into a striker is bullshit. Why? What qualities do he lack that a striker needs?
Physically strong with good balance, hold the ball up well, brings players into the game. He can also run with the ball and has a good conversion rate.
Draxler is wasted on the wing and schalke have been poor this season, i think one of the key reason for him wanting to come here is wenger's plan to convert him into an Van persie-esque complete forward. Germany lack a really top notch CF and that is what he could develop into here, as apposed to playing a bit role on the wing.
