Arsenal defender Sead Kolasinac could finally leave the club in January with Claudio Ranieri keen to take him to Watford.
The Telegraph report that Watford are looking into a deal for Kolasinac as they chase defensive additions.
It’s intriguingly suggested that Watford would be viewing Kolasinac as a centre back rather than as a left back.
Arsenal will allow Kolasinac to leave in January and Watford now look like being his most likely destination.
Kolasinac would be swapping a top four battle for a fight against relegation, but he simply needs playing time.
It’s time for Kolasinac to leave Arsenal
We honestly couldn’t blame you if you had forgotten that Kolasinac is still an Arsenal player.
The Bosnian earns a staggering £100,000-a-week at Arsenal, but is now approaching the final six months of his deal.
With just two Premier League starts in the last 18 months, Kolasinac clearly isn’t going to feature prominently at Arsenal.
The 28-year-old simply needs to leave and play first-team football elsewhere, especially having had a taste of regularly action on loan at Schalke earlier this year.
Watford can offer that to Kolasinac, and Arsenal would surely welcome interest from the Hornets as they look to get the defender off their books.
