Arsenal defender Laurent Koscielny has reportedly informed the club he wants to leave to finish his career in France with former side Lorient.

The 32-year-old, who has been at the Gunners since his £10million move back in 2010, has become a stalwart in Arsene Wenger's side for his performances in defence.
