Sead Kolasinac has been in and out of the transfer rumour mill over the past few months and it would now appear he’s close to actually leaving Arsenal.
The defender made 32 appearances for the Gunners during the last campaign, and was clearly a very much used part of the club’s squad.
So far this season he’s made one appearance in the Premier League and another in the EFL Cup, still being used by Mikel Arteta but not a crucial part of the manager’s plans.
They state the ‘decision has been made’ at Bayer Leverkusen to sign the Arsenal player, and Kicker believe a transfer fee will be in the region of €10-12m.
The 27-year-old would be an ’emergency’ signing for the Bundesliga club, and the hope is he can bring some quality to their defence.
