Laurent
Koscielny has signed a new, long-term contract at Arsenal to end
speculation that the defender was considering a summer transfer out of
the club.
The
Frenchman has spent the last four years in London and this season
developed a strong partnership with Per Mertesacker at the heart of
Arsenal's defence.
The
28-year-old, who was signed from Ligue 1 side Lorient, has contributed
to 15 clean sheets in his 31 Barclays Premier League appearances this
season as Arsenal secured fourth place and reached the FA Cup final. "I
have enjoyed four great years already and I look forward to continuing
to help the team," said Koscielny.
The
news was welcomed by manager Arsene Wenger too. "Laurent has proven
himself to be an outstanding player since joining us in 2010," he said.
