Veteran defender Laurent Koscielny has officially moved to Bordeaux, France
Veteran defender Laurent Koscielny has officially moved to Bordeaux, France.
The English Premier League Arsenal have announced Koscielny's transfer to Bordeaux on it's official website
The transfer fee is said to be up to 5 million euros.
After making his professional debut in the 2004 French League Gangs, Koscielny joined Arsenal in 2010, scoring 22 goals and 2 assists in 255 league games in nine years.
Last season, he led Arsenal's runner-up to the Europa League and fifth place in the Premier League.
Arsenal have struggled to tackle an insecure defensive problem all season, but Koscielny was the defensive center of the team.
The end of a long walk was not good.
Arsenal wanted Koscielny to stay for a year, but Kosielny asked the club to move without a transfer.
Feeling that the club wasn't treating him for a long time, he didn't even join Arsenal's pre-season US tour.
Following his discipline, Koscielny, who was training with players under the age of 23, left Arsenal to join Bordeaux.
Even after the transfer was decided, the finish was not smooth.
In a video posted on the official Bordeaux club Twitter, Koscielny throwing Arsenal's uniform off to the side and showing the Bordeaux uniform inside.
Well, he might be a still good pick for CB, better than Mustafi I would assume. Good luck in Bordeaux then.
