Sead Kolasinac is facing a return to Arsenal after his loan club Schalke announced they could not afford to keep the left-back for another season.
The 27-year-old joined the Bundesliga's bottom club on a six-month loan in January along with fellow Gunners man Shkodran Mustafi, but neither of the defenders could do anything to stop the Gelsenkirchen club from being relegated to the second tier.
Mustafi, who joined on a six-month permanent contract, was let go by Schalke last month and the German club have now announced that Kolasinac and other January arrival Klaas-Jan Huntellaar will be leaving as well.
