Arsenal are reportedly close to selling Sead Kolasinac to Turkish Super Lig side Fenerbahce.

According to Football London, the Bosnian defender is on the verge of re-joining Mesut Ozil in Turkey.

Kolasinac is not part of Mikel Arteta’s plans this season after Nuno Tavares was signed to provide backup for Kieran Tierney.

The 28-year-old left-back spent last season partially on loan with Schalke 04. However, the German side were relegated from the Bundesliga after a horrific season.

With a year left on his current deal, Kolasinac is likely to leave Arsenal this window, and Fenerbahce looks to be the destination.

And Arsenal appear to have found a buyer for the fullback in the form of Fenerbahce. Whilst a fee is so far unknown, Arsenal value Kolasinac at £6m according to the Express.

Moreover, with Arsene Wenger signing the defender for free in the summer of 2017, it would be some astute business from the Gunners if they are to receive any sort of fee for the defender.

Kolasinac could also be just the second player Arsenal sell for good this summer. Indeed, Joe Willock remains the only name to leave north London for a transfer fee, with Newcastle paying a reported £20m for the youngster.

With just nine days of the window left to go, Arsenal still have plenty of business to do.

As per Football London, the Gunners are looking to offload more fringe players this summer. With the likes of Willian, Lucas Torreira and Alex Runarsson all available.
