PARIS SAINT-GERMAIN star Julian Draxler has signed a three-year contract extension at the club.
The attacking midfielder had been linked with a move to Premier League sides Arsenal and Leeds but will now stay in France.
Draxler’s contract was due to expire at the end of the season but PSG have confirmed he’s put pen to paper on a new deal.
The 27-year-old told the club’s official website: “I love this club and the city of Paris.
“It’s a pleasure to play with very great players, for a team like this. I am very happy to have extended [my contract] here.”
Draxler’s future had been a talking point, with the bookies offering good odds on a move to the Emirates.
Rumours connecting the Germany international with the Gunners have dominated his career.
He had also been linked with a move to Elland Road before today’s news broke.

Draxler has struggled to nail a place down at PSG since moving from Wolfsburg in January 2017.
The ex-Schalke star has made 23 Ligue 1 appearances this season, scoring four goals, but remains part of manager Mauricio Pochettino’s plans.
And there is a good chance Draxler will be named in Germany’s 26-man squad for the Euros this summer.
He was part of the squad that won the World Cup in 2014 and the Confederations Cup in 2017, picking up 56 caps to date.
PSG recently gave Neymar a new £500,000-a-week contract and are believed to be interested in signing Real Madrid captain Sergio Ramos.
