Arsenal defender Sead Kolasinac has reportedly agreed a three-year deal with Fenerbahce amid a potential transfer to the Turkish club.

According to Sporx, the Istanbul side have a deal in principle with the Bosnian international. However, Fenerbahce are not willing to pay a transfer fee to Arsenal for the fullback.

Additionally, Kolasinac has one year left on his deal with the north London side and is open to leaving the club this window. Moreover, with Mikel Arteta signing Nuno Tavares this summer, the 28-year-old is surplus to requirements at Arsenal.

Indeed, a transfer away from Arsenal seems incredibly likely for Kolasinac this window. The Gunners have multiple players they are eager to sell this summer, and the Bosnian could be the first one to depart permanently.

As well as Kolasinac, the likes of Hector Bellerin, Willian and Eddie Nketiah are expected to transfer away from Arsenal this window. Reiss Nelson and Joe Willock could also leave the north London side.

With the Bosnian spending half of last season with Schalke, many Arsenal fans are hoping that Kolasinac leaves the Gunners this window on a permanent transfer.

Furthermore, with the defender being signed in 2017 on a free transfer, there is an understanding by supporters that allowing Kolasinac to walk for free would be a financially sound move by the club.
