Committed Koscielny wants to stick around for an Arsenal testimonial

Arsenal defender Laurent Koscielny has become more vocal during his five years at Arsenal, now feels a little bit English, and can see himself finishing his career in North London.

When the French international arrived at Arsenal from Ligue 1 side Lorient in July, 2010, his reputation for reliable, aggressive defending hadn’t breached his national borders.

He has since become established as one of the Premier League’s most accomplished defenders and each transfer window invariably sees a link crop up with a European power such as Barcelona or Bayern Munich.
