​Bournemouth keeper Begovic says new Arsenal signing Kolasinac is a 'top player'

Bournemouth goalkeeper Asmir Begovic believes Arsenal have got away with a steal after the Gunners finalised the signing of Schalke defender Sead Kolasinac on a free transfer.

Begovic, who recently secured a move to the Cherries after two lacklustre years at Chelsea, plays with Kolasinac in the Bosnia and Herzegovina national team.

Speaking on Twitter to talkSPORT, Begovic called his national teammate a "top player."

Kolasinac, 23, spent five seasons with the Gelsenkirchen club and made 131 appearances.
