Julian Draxler comes out openly on his desire to leave Wolfsburg this summer

Arsenal-target Julian Draxler says he wants to leave Wolfsburg, just 12 months into his five-year contract slamming the Bundesliga club's coach and sports director in the process.

The 22-year-old Germany winger joined to much fanfare last August for 35 million euros ($39m) from Schalke, the club which nurtured him through their academy to become a Germany international.

But Draxler said he told coach Dieter Hecking and director of sport Klaus Allofs three weeks ago of his wish to leave.

"The coach has known that for three weeks," he said.

There are rumours the Gunners want to sign the highly-rated winger who says there was an gentleman's agreement between him and the Wolfsburg's bosses that he could leave if the possibility arose to join a bigger club.
