Julian Draxler wants to see Germany team-mate Mesut Ozil leave Arsenal and join him at Paris Saint-Germain.

Draxler signed for the French champions from Wolfsburg in January, reportedly for a fee of £34m.

Ozil's contract at Arsenal expires at the end of next season and he is yet to agree new terms. Last month he said he is willing to sign an extension but suggested he wanted clarity on Arsene Wenger's future first, with the Gunners boss' current deal expiring in the summer.

Should Ozil leave the Emirates Stadium, Draxler hopes his compatriot will join him in the French capital.

In an interview with BeinSports, Draxler said: "There is one fellow Germany international I would like to see here; Mesut Ozil.

"I do not know why there have been so few (Germans leave the Bundesliga). It remains very attractive to Germans.

"I chose to come here to have an experience abroad. Would I advise other Germans to come to Ligue 1? Without a doubt, yes I would."
