Arsenal have confirmed their first signing of the summer by announcing the arrival of Sead Kolasinac on a free transfer.

The 23-year-old defender will move from Schalke in July after agreeing to a long-term deal at Arsenal.

"I’m happy to have signed at Arsenal for five years and I’m really pleased," Kolasinac told Arsenal.com.

"Left-back is where I feel most comfortable. I can play as part of a three at the back too or further forward. I’m really flexible."
