Arsenal 'face battle to keep Laurent Koscielny as AC Milan join race'

A report claims that Arsenal defender Laurent Koscielny has been made AC Milan's top target for the summer, having also recently been linked with a move to Marseille.

AC Milan have reportedly joined Marseille in showing an interest in Laurent Koscielny, leaving Arsenal fearful of losing the central defender.

The 31-year-old, who still has another three years to run on his current deal in North London, has previously refused to rule out joining boyhood club Marseille.

According to French outlet Telefoot, Koscielny could be about to have another offer to consider as Milan have made him their top target for the summer transfer window, using a big cash injection to tempt Arsenal into selling one of their key players.

It is claimed that the Gunners will be reluctant to offload at any price, however, due to the uncertainty surrounding fellow big-name players Alexis Sanchez and Mesut Ozil.

Koscielny joined the Premier League club from Lorient as an unknown in 2010, going on to make nearly 300 top-flight appearances in the seven years since.
