Fans of Leeds United have been reacting to a post on Twitter, which relays reports that the club are interested in signing PSG’s Julian Draxler.
According to RMC Sport (4:26 p.m), Leeds have ‘looked into the case of the German international’, however, it is said that Draxler has ‘not been receptive’ to the approach of Marcelo Bielsa’s side, as the attacking midfielder ‘does not want to leave the French capital’ at present, with his contract set to expire next summer.
However, the report also states that PSG’s sporting director, Leonardo, ‘has been hoping’ to send the player on his way since January.
After Get French Football News shared this reported news via its Twitter account, fans of Leeds flocked to have their say on the matter, with many suggesting that Draxler would be a good signing.
Victor Orta is now wilding???
But it would be a quality world class signing. A player who needs to rejuvenate his career which in my opinion is yet to hit the heights expected of it(the level KDB is playing at)
Also, I hope he knows he will be Jack Harrison's understudy ?? https://t.co/qvEko33JB2— El-Hadary (@RaphaelOmalla) September 8, 2020

Since arriving at PSG from VfL Wolfsburg in what was a £32.4 million deal back in 2017, the German international has gone on to make 140 appearances for the Ligue 1 side, scoring 20 goals and providing 32 assists.
However, the 26-year-old featured just 11 times in the league last season for PSG, scoring no goals and providing four assists, averaging a WhoScored match rating of 6.93.
While these statistics are not bad whatsoever, it appears that the French side are keen to get rid of the attacking midfielder in the current transfer window, and, it would seem from their comments, that Leeds fans would love it if the £21.6 million-rated man made a move to Yorkshire in the coming weeks.
Can you see Draxler joining Leeds?
Yes
No

All in all, it would seem as if these Leeds fans would love to see Draxler move to Elland Road this summer, however, with the player said to be unfavourable towards any move away from PSG, in our opinion, it would be very surprising to see this deal happen.
