Arsenal have completed a deal for the international left-back.
Arsenal have completed their first business of the summer, bringing 23-year-old left-back Sead Kolasinac to the Emirates Stadium following his release from Bundesliga club Schalke.
It had long been expected that the Bosnia-Herzegovina international would be arriving in North London during the close season after a deal was struck earlier this year, but it has now been made official, and Arsenal fans will be hoping he is the first of a few new faces this summer.
Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has already moved to dampen hopes of a huge spending spree at the club, with three or four new arrivals the most that supporters can expect to see.
One of those is Kolasanic, who will be competing with Nacho Monreal for a regular starting spot on the left side of Arsenal’s defence.
The full-back featured 123 times for Schalke, scoring four goals and providing 13 assists in the process, and his arrival means Arsenal have another attack-minded full-back who could be as effective down the left as Hector Bellerin is on the opposite flank.
Kolasinac has been capped 23 times for Bosnia-Herzegovina and will be looking to hit the ground running in pre-season.
