Sead Kolasinac to leave Arsenal on a permanent deal?

Sead Kolasinac will reportedly leave Arsenal on a permanent basis during this summer's transfer window.

The 27-year-old has been with the Gunners since 2017, making 113 appearances in all competitions, but he struggled for football in the first half of the 2020-21 campaign before joining Schalke 04 on loan.

Kolasinac still has more than 12 months left to run on his deal at the Emirates Stadium, but he is not believed to be in the thoughts of Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta for next term.

According to football.london, the versatile defender is expected to leave the Gunners on a permanent basis in the upcoming market.

The report claims that Schalke are interested in a long-term deal, but the German outfit, who have been relegated from the Bundesliga, could face competition from Italian giants Lazio.

The Bosnia-Herzegovina international previously represented Die Knappen between 2011 and 2017.
