Internet Desk: Premier League club Arsenal begins their summer signings with a bang as they have confirmed the signing of Schalke left-back Sead Kolasinac on a free transfer who played an outstanding season for Schalke last season..
The Bosnian attracted interest from top clubs in the Premier League and across Europe and was the subject of a failed bid from Chelsea in January. Manchester City, Liverpool, Everton, Juventus and AC Milan were all also keenly monitoring the defender.
But Arsene Wenger had been tracking the Bosnia and Herzegovina international for some time and the Gunners, after opening negotiations in April, staved off fierce competition to land their man on a ‘long-term contract’.
