Sead Kolasinac could leave Arsenal in January transfer window with Napoli and Roma keen
SEAD KOLASINAC could be on his way out of Arsenal in January with Napoli and Roma lining up potential bids.
Both teams are said keen to sign the defender - who will miss the festive fixtures with an ankle injury -
The 26-year-old has made 14 appearances for Arsenal this season and has two and a half years left on his current contract.
Italian giants Napoli are keen on making a move for the Bosnia-Herzegovina left-back next month.
Meanwhile, Roma are said to prefer a deal next summer as they look to replace 34-year-old Aleksander Kolarov.
The interest from both Italian clubs comes despite Kolasinac now being sidelined with a knock he picked up in Arsenal's 3-0 loss to Manchester City on December 15.
However, Kolasinac should be back in training by January.
It is no secret that Arsenal are in desperate need of strengthening up their defence and things are just getting worse for them in this area.
Newly appointed manager Mikel Arteta will be without left-back Kieran Tierney for around three months after surgery on his dislocated shoulder.
