Arsenal-bound Sead Kolasinac bids classy farewell to Schalke
ARSENAL target Sead Kolasinac has bid a classy farewell to Schalke, despite being banned for the club's final game of the season.
Sead Kolasinac attended Schalke's final game of the season as a fan
Sead Kolasinac is out of contract with Schalke this summer and has reportedly agreed a deal to join Arsenal.
The left-back is said to have signed a five-year contract with the Gunners and will link up with his new team in July.
However, Kolasinac, who was banned for Schalke's final game of the season on Saturday against Ingolstadt, did not want to miss the opportunity to bid farewell to the club.
And the 23-year-old did so in style, attending the match as a fan, dressed head-to-toe in Schalke colours and sitting among the travelling supporters.

Kolasinac considered one of Bundesliga's most underrated
The Bundesliga's official twitter account posted a picture of the defender with the fans, writing: "Kolasinac is suspended for Schalke's last game.
"He's there with the fans. Class gesture, and an ace retro shirt!"
Kolasinac is expected to link up with Arsenal in the summer as a long-term replacement for the ageing Nacho Monreal.
Kieran Gibbs' future at the Emirates is also in doubt, having hardly featured this term for the Gunners.
And when asked about the Bosnia and Herzegovina international moving to north London, Laurent Koscielny said this week: "I think that they know the players they want.
"They know for a long time so I think if we are qualified or not for the Champions League they have targets in their head.
"They will do everything to have the best players for us, a player who can help the team to be better.
"[A player] who can change the team to have some more positive results for this club. Would Kolasinac do that? I hope!”
