The 24-year-old joined the Gunners on a long-term contract in July after his deal with the Bundesliga club expired.

After snapping him up, Arsene Wenger hailed Kolasinac for his attacking qualities and ability to cover a number of positions.

But ex-Germany keeper Hildebrand believes Kolasinac’s physical attributes will ensure he thrives in the Premier League.

"He is so strong that nobody can stop him,"  Hildebrand told Sky Sports.

"He is really strong and also a fighter.

"He had those qualities even when he was a young player coming through the ranks at Schalke.

"He is a very good player and I think he is going to do well in the Premier League.

"He is the perfect signing for Arsenal."

Kolasinac could make his competitive debut in the Community Shield against Chelsea next Sunday.

Arsenal kick off their Premier League campaign at home to 2015/16 champions Leicester on Friday, August 11.
