Sead Kolasinac has been hailed as the Premier League signing of the summer ahead of the likes of Romelu Lukaku and Alvaro Morata by Garth Crooks.
The Bosnian defender scored his first league goal against Swansea on Saturday and has provided a further three assists in his opening nine matches in the top flight of English football.
While huge fees were splurged on Lukaku, Alexandre Lacazette and Morata, Crooks is convinced the free transfer is showing the rest of the summer additions up and praised Arsene Wenger for scoring an absolute bargain.
‘I was very impressed with Sead Kolasinac when Arsenal played Chelsea at Stamford Bridge earlier in the season and he has since become a regular feature in the Gunners set-up,’ Crooks wrote in his BBC Sport column.
‘Kolasinac only joined the club at the beginning of the season, and on a free transfer, which really does knock the stuffing out of all those Arsenal ‘know it all’ supporters who have been caning Arsene Wenger for not spending millions on players the manager thinks are not worth it.
‘Kolasinac must be the signing of the season and he already looks like a player who has won the respect and admiration of his team-mates. The goal he scored against Swansea was well taken, but the move and assist for Aaron Ramsey to score was just fabulous football from the Bosnia-Herzegovina international.
‘To find yourself so far up the field in open play is one thing but having the composure to handle matters so effectively is something entirely different.
‘If Wenger is free during the international break, perhaps Theresa May might ask the Arsenal manager if he could conduct the Brexit negotiations with European chief negotiator Michel Barnier.’
