The German-born, Bosnian international left-back arrives from Schalke, having spent the last six years ploughing up and down the flank for the Bundesliga club, their youth team, and their second string side.
The club formally announced Kolasinac’s arrival in the most round-about manner – by replying to a tweet from a fan demanding an announcement of Kolasinac’s arrival…
