Officials from Arsenal and Bordeaux have reportedly met in London to discuss the future of defender Laurent Koscielny.
Despite a successful nine-year spell with the Gunners, Koscielny is looking to force a transfer away from the Emirates Stadium before the end of the summer window.
The centre-back appears to favour a return to his homeland, and Bordeaux have been strongly linked with an approach for the France international.
According to L'Equipe, it has resulted in the two parties holding discussions in England's capital in a bid to find a resolution.
Long-serving Koscielny maintains that he should be allowed to depart Arsenal on a free transfer, despite a year still remaining on his contract.
However, due to a lack of depth in the middle of their backline, the Premier League giants are insisting on receiving a fee in order to boost their attempts to find a replacement.
