Chelsea, Liverpool and West Ham United are said to be ‘hot on’ the versatile left-back, who is out of contract at the end of this season.
Chelsea, Liverpool and West Ham United are ‘hot on’ Schalke 04 left-back Sead Kolasinac, according to German website BILD.
The 23-year-old has had his place in the side seized by Chelsea loanee Baba Rahman and is out of contract at the end of the campaign.
Liverpool and West Ham’s left-back problems have been well-documented, with the Reds using James Milner there and the Hammers struggling during Aaron Cresswell’s absence.
Kolasinac, however, can also operate at centre-back and defensive midfield and has filled in on the left wing in Schalke’s last two fixtures.
Assuming his deal is not extended, Kolasinac is sure to be one of the summer’s most sought-after free signings.
And Chelsea, Liverpool and West Ham could tie the Bosnian to a pre-contract as early as the new year, as long as they are prepared to wait another six months to land him.
Kolasinac, who has 14 international caps, joined Schalke’s youth ranks five years ago and is approaching a century of appearances for the Bundesliga giants.
Stamford Bridge, Anfield or London’s Olympic Stadium? Where do you think Kolasinac should go?
