Arsenal manager Unai Emery has now weighed in on the uncertainty surrounding the future of club captain Laurent Koscielny. The Frenchman refused to join Arsenal on their pre-season tour as he has his heart set on a return to France and is the subject of interest from Rennes.

Despite all of this, Emery wants to keep Koscielny at the club. He said:

“I fight to convince him, but I respect his decision, a very personal decision, and that situation can only manage with one argument.
“I haven’t lost my hope that he will be with us next year. But at the moment his decision is to leave and we are also thinking if we can improve with other players and how we can help with him.”
