Arsenal reportedly complete deal for Schalke's Sead Kolasinac

Arsenal have now signed Sead Kolasinac on a free transfer, claim reports in Bosnia.

The Gunners are amongst a host of clubs, including Chelsea and Everton, linked to the Schalke left-back, but the most recent development is that the 23-year-old has signed a pre-contract agreement, report football.london.

The story, from BIHscout.ba, believes the soon-to-be free agent penned a deal after agreeing to move to the Emirates.

Kolasinac is a Bosnia international and has enjoyed a fine season at Schalke, who he joined from Stuttgart in 2011.

He has clocked up more than 120 appearances for the Bundesliga side, but this campaign has been his most fruitful - with the defender having a hand in eight goals.

Arsenal have been looking across Europe at potential left-backs, with Kieran Gibbs expected to move on this summer.

Nacho Monreal, who has been the clubs first choice for the past two years, has endured a difficult season and at 31 years old is coming towards the end of his career.

Celtic’s Kieran Tierney is another left-back Arsenal have been scouting regularly during the past 12 months.
