Arsenal defender Sead Kolasinac is nearing the exit door at the Emirates Stadium, Sport BILD suggest.

Arsenal have apparently agreed a fee worth around £9 million for the left-back with Bayer Leverkusen, and he is now expected to depart in the coming days.

Kolasinac has seen his game time at Arsenal reduced since Mikel Arteta came in, with Kieran Tierney taking his place in the starting line-up. Bukayo Saka has also been preferred to the Bosnian at left-back at times over the past year.

Arsenal now have been intent on selling Kolasinac this summer, as they look to make room for new additions.

The defender, who earns £100,000-a-week at the Emirates Stadium (Spotrac), has been told by Arteta that he is free to leave, according to TeamTalk.

And it seems that Kolasinac is now closer to ever to departing Arsenal, given the latest update.

If the Gunners do bring in £9 million for him they will surely feel satisfied with the business.

Not only will they have raised a substantial sum for a back-up player, but they will also have removed one of their top earners, which could be crucial to helping them raise funds for the remaining additions they have planned this summer.
