With so much pressure surrounding the position of Arsene Wenger at the club, we were not expecting to see any transfer activity out of Arsenal any time soon, but it appears as though they have already made an addition to their squad for next season.
Reports from a number of reliable outlets claim that promising Bosnian left-back Sead Kolasinac has agreed to join the London club on a free transfer from Schalke 04.
The player had been in talks with both AC Milan and Everton in recent weeks, but has seemingly agreed a deal to move to Arsenal, whoever their manager is next season.

Left-back would have been a priority position to strengthen given the struggles of Nacho Monreal at times this season, and Kolasinac is a very different player to the Spaniard.
A tough, physical left-back, the Bosnian will offer a more physical presence at the back should he make his way into the starting side.
As always, here are your obligatory YouTube highlights.
We await official confirmation from both player and club, but it does indeed look like a done deal.
How do you feel about this signing, Arsenal fans? Are you happy that a left-back has been brought in, or were you hoping for a bigger name arriving in the door?
