Laurent Koscielny says that he has no reason to leave Arsenal as he loves being at the club and his family also enjoys life in London.

Laurent Koscielny has expressed his desire to remain at Arsenal, insisting that he has no reason to leave the club.

The Gunners vice-captain, who has been at the Emirates Stadium since 2010, is reported to be on the radar of Bayern Munich, Marseille and AC Milan.

However the 31-year-old, who signed a new contract at Arsenal in November, says he likes playing under Arsene Wenger and admits that his family also enjoy life in London.

"When I first got here, I didn't think about how long I would stay at this club - but now I am starting my eighth season so I am very happy with this," Koscielny told the Evening Standard.

"I am happy in my life every day, not just the football but my life with my wife and kids in London. We enjoy it, that's why I have stayed for a long time here.

"I have a long contract with Arsenal and I have [no reason] to leave the club. I am just here to enjoy my job and give everything for the team, and get the best results for the club. If i can do all of that, then I am happy.

"I have a big [loyalty] to this club and to the boss too. I have stayed here for seven years and I have learnt a lot from him, so I am happy to be here with him and to fight for him because he is a great person."

Koscielny has gone on to make nearly 300 top-flight appearances for the Gunners since his move from Lorient.
