Wenger praises Kolasinac

CAIRO – 29 October 2017: Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger praised Arsenal’s new signing Sead Kolasinac after he led Arsenal to defeat Swansea City 2-1 on Saturday in the Premier League.

“I believe that, since he arrived, he has convinced everybody that he was a good signing. Overall, I think when you see the quality of his performance again today, you see there are still some good deals to make out there,” Wenger told press on Saturday after the game.

Kolasinac scored Arsenal’s first goal and provided an assist to Aaron Ramsey, who scored the second.

Wenger also spoke about Arsenal’s tactics against Swansea that helped the team to win the game, saying, “For us, it was important to build up on the right and change quickly to the left and create some space for Kolasinac. And he did that very well."

Kolasinac left the game in the 78th minute due to an injury. Wenger explained his injury, saying, “It's a hip problem; a tight muscle in his hip. How long will he be out? I don't know. We hope to get him fit for next Sunday.”
