Falk states this will see Kolasinac take a significant pay cut from his Arsenal earnings, which isn’t too surprising as he’s been a bit of a disappointment in his time at the Emirates Stadium.
The Bosnian joined the Gunners on a free from Schalke back in 2017 and initially looked a terrific piece of business as he got off to a strong start to life in the Premier League.
Since then, however, Kolasinac seems to have lost his way a little due to some fitness problems and a general loss of form.
Arsenal fans won’t be too bothered about seeing him leave now, and this loan could be a good opportunity to put him in the shop window ahead of a potential summer sale.
bye bye sead kolasinac
