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.
However, Koscielny has no desire to stick around in North London for the remainder of his career and has already put the wheels in motion for his exit.
According to Lorient president Loic Fery, the France international has spoke with him about a move back home despite being under contract at the Emirates Stadium until 2020.
