Laurent Koscielny's agent: 'Barcelona, Bayern Munich are interested'

Both Barcelona and Bayern Munich are interested in Arsenal defender Laurent Koscielny, according to the player's agent.

Speculation has risen in Spain, where Catalan newspaper Sport claimed that Barca have approached Arsenal with a £12.7m offer for the 27-year-old central defender.

However, Koscielny's representative, Stephane Courbis, told Eurosport France that there has been "no contact", despite the interest.

Courbis said: "I know that Laurent is part of a shortlist of three or four players for both clubs."

Koscielny joined the Gunners from Lorient for around £8m in 2010.
