According to Goal.com, Arsenal want £9 million as transfer fee for Sead Kolasinac.

It has been reported that the left-back is in talks with Bayer Leverkusen over a permanent move to the German club.

The report has added that the Gunners are pushing for a fee of £9 million, with the North London club having signed the 27-year-old Bosnia and Herzegovina international on a free transfer in the summer of 2017.

Stats

Kolasinac has played once in the Premier League so far this season, while during the 2019-20 campaign, the 27-year-old made 19 starts and seven substitute appearances in the league and played once in the Europa League, according to WhoScored.

Back in 2018-19, the left-back made 22 starts and two substitute appearances in the league, and he made eight starts and two substitute appearances in the Europa League, according to WhoScored.

Good deal for Arsenal?

With Kieran Tierney the clear first-choice left-back and (arguably) a better player than Kolasinac, it makes sense for Arsenal to move him on, and if they are able to make a profit of £9 million in the process, then it will be great business for the club.
