Roma and Napoli hoping to sign Kolasinac

Arsenal defender Sead Kolasinac is wanted by both Napoli and Roma ahead of the January window.

According to Sky Sports News, Napoli are hoping to seal a deal for the defender when the window opens in January.

However, it’s claimed that Roma will hold off until the summer before making a move for the 26-year-old.

Kolasinac hasn’t always been the first choice at Arsenal this season following the summer arrival of Kieran Tierney from Celtic.

Roma’s interest is certainly better suited for Arsenal.

Kieran Tierney is due to be sidelined until at least March after he dislocated his shoulder against West Ham recently.

This leaves the Gunners very short in the left-back spot, providing they don’t strengthen there in January, meaning any deal to sell Kolasinac in the new year would be ludicrous.

While a deal to move Kolasinac on in the summer shouldn’t be ruled out, unless the Gunners have plans to bring in another defender or convert someone else into a makeshift left-back, they must ensure that the player stays put beyond January.
