Prior reports suggested that the North London outfit had secured the services of the Bosnian after beating competition from the likes of Everton and Manchester City for his signature and has even chosen a squad number ahead of next season, with assurance that Arsene Wenger will remain at the club next season.

His father has now claimed the deal is has not been agreed yet, he said: ‘Next week we will decide everything,’

Kolasinac will be out of contract at Schalke by the end of the season and is free to negotiate a new deal elsewhere before May. It is understood that the Serie A giant are ready to pounce for the left-back before the end of the current campaign and have intensified their efforts in recent days.

Arsenal are known for their discreet approach to transfer and are not expected to announce anything until the end of the season.
