Career

Drexler played as a teenager for Bonner SC, Alemannia Aachen, and Bayer Leverkusen before joining Rot-Weiß Erfurt in 2010.

He finished the 2010–11 season with four goals in 19 appearances. He scored eight goals in 34 appearances in the 2011–12 season and four goals in 28 appearances in the 2012–13 season.

In July 2013, he signed for Greuther Fürth, where he spent the 2012–13 season, scoring a goal in 11 competitive matches. He also scored four goals in five matches for the reserve team. Then he joined VfR Aalen for the 2014–15 season. He scored one goal in 26 competitive appearances. In the following season, he scored nine goals in 32 competitive appearances. He then joined Holstein Kiel for the 2016-17 season. During that season, he scored seven goals in 35 appearances. During the 2017–18 season, he scored 14 goals in 34 appearances. This includes two goals in two appearances in the DFB Pokal and an appearance in the Promotion playoff.

Drexler signed with Midtjylland for the 2018–19 season. The transfer fee paid to Holstein Kiel was reported to be €2.5 million. However, during the same summer he was transferred again to 2. Bundesliga side 1. FC Köln for a reported fee of €4.5 million.

On 21 July 2021, he agreed to join Schalke 04, newly relegated from the Bundesliga, signing a two-year contract, which was extended by a further year due to Schalke's promotion in 2022. On 14 November 2023, the contract was extended until 30 June 2025.
