Newcastle United's summer transfer window has thrown up plenty of surprises so far. The recent speculation linking Julian Draxler with a move to St. James' Park shows that there'll be more twists and turns as the window reaches it's pinnacle.
The German international's links to Tyneside have come out of the blue, but his profile is exactly what Eddie Howe and the Magpies have been looking for. PSG have set an asking price in the region of £20-30million according to reports, and the World Cup winner would add some much needed quality in offensive areas.
Draxler came through the youth set-up at Schalke 04 and would become the club's youngest ever Bundesliga debutant at the age of 17 years and 117 days. He would then became the youngest ever player to reach 50 top-flight appearances at the tender age of 19 years and five days, in a 3-0 win over FSV Mainz 05, a game in which he shone.
