Arsenal: The case for selling each and every player this summer
By Josh Sippie
Sead Kolasinac
One of most consistent performers this year, surprisingly, and it has seen him shoot up the value chart as well. He has proven himself one of the best wingbacks in the world, and that’s not even because of how few teams use wingbacks. He’s the kind of wingback that makes a team want to use wingbacks.

Of course, that also dents his value a bit because he just isn’t that great a fullback. But along those lines, you could also see him as a left-sided midfielder, given his attacking exploits and his ability to get forward.
In the spirit of full-on Arsenal overhaul, Kolasinac could be sold to make room for a more fullback-able fullback, odd as that sounds. It seems like Emery is just more interested in a back four, and with the state of this defense, it’s hard to blame him. The fewer players you put in on that back line, the better.
Kolasinac just isn’t the guy to play as a fullback. And thus, this could be a great time to see him before a replacement comes in and reminds everyone that he is rather limited in his positioning abilities.
Will we sell? No.
Should we sell? No.
