Arsenal have announced left-back Sead Kolasinac will join them this summer from German club Schalke. The Bosnia-Herzegovina international, 23, will join on a free transfer and become an Arsenal player on 1 July when the transfer window opens.
“Subject to the completion of all regulatory processes, the defender will start pre-season training in July,” said an Arsenal statement. Schalke confirmed that the defender had signed a deal “which runs until 2022”. The Bundesliga club also tweeted: “Good luck in the future and thank you for six great years.” Kolasinac helped Schalke finish 10th in the Bundesliga last season, while they reached the quarter-finals of the Europa League where they were knocked out by eventual beaten finalists Ajax.
