Koscielny does not rule out move to ‘mythical’ Marseille

Laurent Koscielny says that he “feels very good” at Arsenal, but is happy being linked with a move to Marseille.

Reports emerged before the end of this past season that Marseille would try and tempt Koscielny into returning to Ligue Un this summer.

The 31-year-old joined Arsenal from Lorient in 2010 and has established himself as the best centre-half at the Emirates Stadium, winning three FA Cups in seven years.

Koscielny insisted “there is nothing concrete” regarding reports that Marseille wanted him in May, but has spoken again about his future.

“I have a contract with Arsenal, I even signed an extension last November until 2020. I feel very good over there,” he told the Daily Mirror.

“I have always said that I was a Marseille fan when I was younger. When a mythical club like Marseille contact you, it is good. But will I sign for them? I have no idea at all.”
