Arsenal's Kolasinac looks a star - Four things we learned after the Community Shield
The 24-year-old German defender, signed on a free transfer from Schalke, has made a big impact in pre-season with his powerful runs from full-back and is already gaining cult status at the Emirates. He came on at Wembley to replace injured Per Mertesacker and scored Arsenal’s vital equaliser with 10 minutes to go. “I think he was outstanding,” said manager Arsene Wenger. “He’s physically very strong, naturally strong. There are players who are made in the gym and players who are born strong and he’s the latter of the two. Power plays a big part in the Premier League but we bought him for his attitude too.”
