Laurent Koscielny has finally joined Ligue 1 side Bordeaux from Arsenal for a fee of up to 5m euros (approximately £4.6m).
The French international who's 33 has, on several occasions, expressed his desire to leave Emirate Stadium this summer. And even refused to travel with the squad for the preseason tour of the USA, and went on to rebuffed all enteritis by the head coach Unai Emery to persuade him to complete the final year of his existing contract.
“We decided to sanction his move to Bordeaux once we agreed on acceptable transfer terms,” Arsenal said in a statement.
“We thank Laurent for his contribution to the club and wish him all the best for the future.”
Koscielny had made 353 appearances and scored 27 goals since arrived at the Emirates from Lorient in the summer of 2010, and was part of the side that won three FA Cups and three Community Shields under Arsene Wenger.
