The untold story of Koscielny, Wenger and Emery

Laurent Koscielny’s had a tough year, but he’s enjoyed every second of it.

It has been 12 months since our club captain left the Wanda Metropolitano pitch on a stretcher, during our Europa League semi-final defeat to Atletico Madrid.

Koscielny spent the next seven months on the sidelines and when he returned, things had changed on and off the pitch at the club.

“My last 12 months at Arsenal have been amazing because I’ve had to start from the bottom and have had to work hard to get back to my level,” he told Arsenal Player.
