Saturday morning's Premier League transfer talk news roundup:

Paris Saint-Germain winger Julian Draxler could reportedly leave the club next summer with Arsenal leading the race to sign him.
The 27-year-old is out of contract with the French champions at the end of the season and has made a decision regarding his future.
football.london reports that Draxler is planning to announce his departure from PSG and will name his new club in March, which could be a boost for Arsenal who are interested in the player.
The German international, who has scored two goals in 11 Ligue 1 appearances this season, has previously been linked with the Gunners as manager Mikel Arteta is understood to want a creative midfielder.
Arsenal are believed to have £20m to spend this month but the sale of some of their fringe players could help increase their current winter window budget.
Defender Sead Kolasinac's return to Schalke was officially completed earlier this month, as was William Saliba's loan move to Ligue 1 outfit Nice while goalkeeper Matt Macey joined Hibernian last week.
The future of midfielder Mesut Ozil still remains unclear despite Fenerbahce's sporting director Emre Belozoglu stating that 32-year-old is currently "closer than ever" to joining the Turkish giants.
Barcelona's move for Eric Garcia close to collapsing?

Barcelona's chances of signing Eric Garcia from Manchester City in January are reportedly now slim as elections to select a new president at the Catalan club have been postponed.
The elections, which had been set to take place on January 24, have been delayed due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, throwing the club's transfer plans into doubt.
Barca have been strongly linked with Garcia in recent months, and City boss Pep Guardiola appeared to suggest on Friday that the Spain international was nearing a return to Camp Nou.
However, according to the Daily Mail, the defender's proposed switch to Ronald Koeman's side is now in 'serious doubt', with stand-in president Carles Tusquets unlikely to be given the green light to complete a move.
Garcia's existing deal at the Etihad Stadium is due to expire at the end of June, meaning that he is currently free to speak to foreign clubs over a summer switch.
The 20-year-old has made seven appearances for the Citizens during the 2020-21 campaign.
