Sead Kolasinac Arsenal deal closer as Nacho Monreal faces exit

Schalke fullback Sead Kolasinac has all but confirmed he's moving to Arsenal.

The Sun reports the Bosnian is set to sign for the Gunners on a free transfer after the wing-back's contract expires at Schalke in a months time.

An announcement on the signing is expected in the coming weeks but Kolasinac is wasting no time in making his social presence felt by liking Arsenal's official Instagram page.

The 23-year-old was then quickly followed by Arsenal star Granit Xhaka who played against the defender during his time in the Bundesliga.

Kolasinac is set to the be first arrival through the door, with Nacho Monreal heading to Athletic Bilbao.

Monreal, who turns 32 on his next birthday, is wanted by the La Liga side and could be tempted to see out his career in his native Spain.
