What Unai Emery has done to improve Sead Kolasinac's game for Arsenal this season

Sead Kolasinac is one of a number of Arsenal players that have improved under Unai Emery's guidance this campaign.

Signed on a free transfer from Schalke ahead of last season, the Bosnian was in and out of the team at times under Arsene Wenger with Nacho Monreal sometimes preferred at left-back.

However, the 25-year-old has had a decent run in the team this campaign and has certainly come on in leaps and bounds following the appointment of Emery.

With a number of the Spaniard's former players at Valencia and Sevilla pointing to the fact the head coach often sent them home with a memory stick to analyse their own game, Kolasinac has revealed that Emery's video analysis has also helped him this term.

"He's a very good coach," he told Sky Sports. "Technically he works a lot with us and shows us a lot of video analysis.

"He picks up on things we aren't doing so well on. It helps us and brings us forward.

"It is nice for us to see what we can improve so we can discuss it and make sure we stop those mistakes in the next game. It's working well for us."

Arsenal are currently in a very good position to finish in the top four for the first time since the 2015/16 season with seven games left to play.

Now one point behind rivals Spurs with a game in hand against Wolves to come later in the month, Kolasinac has claimed that the mood at London Colney is very good ahead of the final push.

"We're in a good position at the moment," he said. "We've played some really good football and we've been rewarded with some important wins as well. The mood here and at the training ground is a positive one.

"What we're doing at the moment is looking at ourselves and do what we can do.

"We want to take as many points as possible. We've got seven very big games and we want to get as much as we can out of those and for us it is about staying where we are in the Premier League at the moment."
