Arsenal 2-1 Swansea City: 5 Talking Points as Gunners fight back in second half

#3 Wenger has signed a very intelligent player in Sead Kolasinac

Sead Kolasinac had a goal and an assist against Swansea

A look at Sead Kolasinac's performances this season and it's easy to understand why he was selected in the Bundesliga Team of the Season for 2016/17. That he managed to sign him for free represents another major coup for Arsene Wenger and the Gunners.

Kolasinac has fit in seamlessly into the side on the left flank and his ability to play as a wing-back has helped the Gunners immensely. Nacho Monreal now has a permanent spot in the back-three, allowing Kolasinac to attack at his leisure.

The Bosnian has a mean left foot and his equaliser again demonstrated how effective he is in the box. It isn't his first goal of the season and will definitely not be his last as he pounced on a loose ball in the box to fire it past Lukasz Fabianski.

Making attacking runs is his forte and he times them to perfection to ensure he stretches the defence which allows midfielders to make runs. It is how he managed to set up Aaron Ramsey for the second.

A smart cut-back instead of a cross flummoxed the defence and allowed the Welsh midfielder to place his shot to perfection.

Kolasinac almost always makes the right decision in the final third - be it linking up with teammates, taking a shot on goal or cutting it back for a teammate in a better position to score. And that intelligence is what makes him the ideal player for a manager like Wenger.
