Arsenal defender Laurent Koscielny has said that he could leave Arsenal on the Expiry of his contract at the end of the 2019/20 season.
The Frenchman is currently recovering from another injury that saw him miss France’s 2018 World Cup triumph in Russia this Summer.
The long term Arsenal centre back, speaking to Nice-Matin, talked about his future and whether he could be at Arsenal for the forseeable future.
Koscielny said, via Daily Cannon:
I’m under contract until June 2020. Afterwards? I’m thinking of moving on, but I do not know where,”he told Nice-Matin. “This is not relevant anyway! I am in England, my family too. Then there will inevitably be a lot of question marks.
The bottom line is to have health. I learned to relativise because there are so many more serious things in life.
The Frenchman has suffered numerous injuries in the past few seasons, and is coming towards the end of his career.
By the end of his Arsenal deal he will be 35 years old, so could not even make the end of his current Arsenal contract.
The Frenchman signed for Arsenal in 2010 from Lorient, and has gone on to make over 238 appearances for the Gunners in that time. Koscielny has also been named the captain of Arsenal in that time.
