Sead KolasinacPerhaps a surprise inclusion on this list, it seemed to fair to look at the Gunners’ talent across the pitch rather than all three slots of this slideshow being taken up by Arsenal’s front three.

Since signing on a free transfer from Schalke, Kolasinac has been somewhat of a revelation, and has been described as the ‘signing of the season’ but many pundits and experts.

Whether he’s playing as a left-sided centre-back or as the left-wing-back, he’s proved to be dangerous thanks to an unorthodox partnership of great ball control with some serious strength.

With defenders naturally swarming to Sanchez, Sead Kolasinac could find himself in a lot of space down the left side. This is only emphasised by the fact that either Jeremy Pied or Maya Yoshida will be occupying the right-back role for the Saints this afternoon.
