It didn’t take long for Sead Kolasinac to win the hearts of the Arsenal fans. His full-blooded style had already caught the eye on our tour to Australia and China and in the Emirates Cup but the time he made his competitive debut as an early substitute against Chelsea in the Community Shield.
A barnstorming display followed, Sead combining tough tackling with surging forays forward and a towering header to bring us level.
Solid at the back and always willing to contribute in attack, Sead set up our crucial half-time equaliser in our Premier League opener against Leicester City before bringing the Emirates crowd to their feet with a perfectly executed ‘roulette’ on Riyad Mahrez in stoppage time.
