Bayern Munich want Arsenal centre-back Laurent Koscielny to become Pep Guardiola's first defensive addition this summer, according to reports.

Arsenal defender Laurent Koscielny has reportedly been singled out as a transfer target by new Bayern Munich manager Pep Guardiola.

The French international enjoyed a strong finish to the season for Arsenal, forming an effective partnership with Per Mertesacker to help the Gunners finish fourth.

That fine form has alerted Bayern, who according to The Sun want the 27-year-old to improve their rearguard in defence of a historic Treble next season.

Koscielny is seen by Gunners boss Arsene Wenger as integral to his plans moving forward, with the experienced coach desperate not to lose key players in the close season.

With captain Thomas Vermaelen's future uncertain Wenger will reportedly rebuff any Bayern bid for Koscielny, who has slowly grown in stature since moving to England three years ago.
