Julian Draxler extends Schalke 04 stay

Schalke 04's teenage winger Julian Draxler has agreed a new deal to extend his stay at the club, according to Goal.com.

Draxler has three years remaining on his initial deal, but is now set to stay at Schalke until the summer of 2018.

The 19-year-old product of Schalke's youth academy has been linked with a number of top European clubs, but the new deal might stave off interest in his services.

Draxler has netted nine times in 29 appearances for Schalke in the Bundesliga this season.
