Arsenal chiefs are convinced they have a deal for Schalke fullback Sead Kolasinac.

Goal reports he is expected to join Arsenal, despite competition from Chelsea.

Kolasinac, 23, is out of contract at the end of the season and looks set to leave the Bundesliga club.

Arsene Wenger is attracted to Kolasinac because he can also play at centre-back and in midfield.

The Gunners are in pole position but Kolasinac's agent Gordan Stipic is reportedly talking to a host of clubs.
