Arsenal have confirmed the signing of Schalke 04’s Sead Kolasinac, who has joined the club on a free transfer.
In a statement on Tuesday, Arsenal announced that the 23-year-old will join the club “on a long-term contract” and will link up for pre-season training in July, “subject to the completion of all regulatory processes.”

The Gunners had been keeping tabs on the player since the start of the 2015-16 season.
The left-back completed a medical and agreed personal terms with the club at the end of April.
The Bosnia and Herzegovina international can play at left-back, center-back and in midfield and emerged as a key player for Schalke in recent seasons, featuring for the club in the Champions League and Europa League.

The defender netted three times in 25 Bundesliga appearances last term as Die Knappen finished a disappointing 10th on the table.
