French report hints of Koscielny deal
According to a claim on a respected fansite of FC Loreint on Friday, Laurent Koscielny is in London at the moment.
The 24-year-old supposedly arrived in the English capital earlier this week to complete the formalities of his move to the Emirates Stadium.
The French club have already assumed a replacement for Koscielny in the form of Angers SCO defender, Bruno Manga.
Laurent only joined FC Lorient a year ago from Tours but is now securing a €12 million transfer to Arsenal thanks to a terrific season which saw him lead the chart for tackles in the French league.
FC Lorient.net claimed:
“According to Western France, Laurent Koscielny has been present in London since Wednesday night with his agent.
The formalization of his transfer to Arsenal, first announced yesterday, is expected to take place during the day.
There is talk of a transfer for €12 M including various bonuses.
In the aftermath, FC Lorient is expected to announce the arrival of Gabonese international, Bruno Bowl-Manga, transferring from Angers. He had been tracked by Hake last season before the club finally made a decision on Laurent Koscielny.”
ha you got it from me !!! 🙂 lol
anything new about the joe cole front??? we should try to sign schweinsteiger!!!
I didn’t get it from you man. The link you provided did not even have the statement which I published below.
If you care to know, I actually got it here
And oh Joe Cole, he said he would take “a couple of weeks off” to make a decision after England exited the WC so we’ll have to wait.
“we should try to sign schweinsteiger!!!”
We should try and sign the entire German national team!
men yu rock.the whole german squad are terrific.i wish is possible to sign all on em cos they are the only team that play with the passion of football and not some bunch of celebrities like england squad.
This doesn’t confirm it. It simply talks about a report in Western France
Rubbish defender

Just weit joe cole he will sign 4 us
amso i hope not
Iv never seen him play but hopefully he will be like Vermaelen. We need another defender and keep Sol.No chance will we sign schweinsteiger the world isnt thaat kind!!
Haven’t seen enough of this guy to make an informed comment,however,i will trust Arsene Wenger’s judgement,if the player is in fact signed by the club.As for Joe Cole,i don’t think Arsenal should sign him.While he is a fairly decent player,he is too selfish in my opinion,and would not fit into our team.Plus i don’t think we need a player in his preferred position anyway.
