As our first signing of the summer, there was real intrigue surrounding Sead Kolasinac’s first appearance at Emirates Stadium - and he responded in style.
The Bosnia international set up Theo Walcott’s first goal, and had a hand in two more, as we beat Benfica 5-2 in the Emirates Cup on Saturday.
Arsene Wenger was delighted with Kolasinac after the match, and this is what he said in his post-match press conference:
on the game…
My thought is that it is a good preparation for us. The game was played at a good pace and overall that’s what you look for at the Emirates Cup, a good 90 minutes to all of the players in the squad and to develop our quality going forward.
