The trio of Arsenal Olivier Giroud, Francis Coquelin and Laurent Koscielny have all agreed new contract extensions with Arsenal.
Gunners boss, Arsene Wenger made the announcement on Arsenal’s official website, www.arsenal.com, saying
“We are very pleased that three important members of our team have committed to us for the long term. Francis has made tremendous technical strides over the past few years because he’s so focused every day. Olivier has big experience in the game now and has become a more and more complete player since joining us. “Laurent is of course a key part of our squad and I believe one of the best defenders in the world today. So overall, this is great news for us.” He said
Meanwhile Mesut Ozil and Alexis Sanchez are yet to decide their Arsenal future. The duo’s contracts expire in the summer of 2018.
