Borussia Dortmund considering bid for Arsenal defender Laurent Koscielny?

Arsenal defender Laurent Koscielny has reportedly emerged as a potential transfer target for Borussia Dortmund.

The Frenchman has spent the last nine years at the Emirates Stadium, making a total of 353 appearances for the Gunners in all competitions.

Koscielny was a regular in Unai Emery's side during the second half of last season, although the 33-year-old now has just one year remaining on his contract.

According to the Daily Mail, Dortmund could look to take advantage of the situation by making a bid for Koscielny's services.

The report adds that Arsenal may be open to parting ways with the centre-back in order to boost Emery's transfer budget for the summer window.
