Arsenal are only likely to receive a ‘very small’ fee for Sead Kolasinac, with Lazio and Fenerbahce keen on landing him, Football London report.

No big cash injection

Arsenal had been looking to bring in around £6 million for the Bosnian this summer, according to the Express.

However, the latest update claims that Arsenal are highly unlikely to receive their asking price for the left-back.

Instead, the Gunners are set to have to get rid of Kolasinac on the cheap, if they want him off their books.

No place for Kolasinac

Kolasinac was sent out on loan by Arsenal last term, and appears to have no place in their squad now.

Mikel Arteta’s side have already landed Nuno Tavares this summer, which pushes the 28-year-old further down the pecking order.

Arsenal may have been wanting to raise a more significant fee for Kolasinac.

But, considering he is on a sizeable contract, the time may just have come to get rid of him – even for a lowly price.

It is not clear whether Lazio or Fenerbahce are the front runners at this time.

However, Arsenal do have strong links with the Turkish side, given that they recently sold Kolasinac’s good friend, Mesut Ozil, to them.
