Arsenal have secured Schalke fullback Sead Kolasinac to a Bosman pre-contract, according to reports in his native Bosnia.

The Sun says according to reports in Germany and Bosnia, Gunners boss Arsene Wenger has snapped up the defender on a free transfer after Kolasinac chose not to extend his contract.

The 23-year-old has spent his entire career in the Bundesliga, but is now set for a new adventure playing in the Premier League.

He has played 117 times for the German giants, and has 18 international caps to his name, and has experience playing in the Champions League.

Reprezentacija reports Kolasinac signed a pre-contract with the Gunners a few days ago, and rejected a host of European clubs.

He has reportedly turned down interest from Serie A giants Juventus, and was wanted by fellow Premier League clubs Manchester City, Chelsea and Liverpool.
