Chelsea not in race for Julian Draxler

Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho has been linked with a move for Schalke 04 midfielder Julian Draxler. Despite these reports - the player instead will be staying at the German club for the new season.

"I have heard nothing about it," Schalke's general manager Horst Heldt told BILD.


"There has been no official transfer enquiry from Chelsea FC incoming and we are also in no touch with that club actually.


"Still it is a fact there are always clubs considering the qualities of players like Julian Draxler."
