Laurent Koscielny next in line for new Arsenal contract?

Arsenal have reportedly identified defender Laurent Koscielny as the latest player to be worthy of a contract extension.

The Gunners have been busy offering deals to key members of the squad in 2014, with Per Mertesacker, Tomas Rosicky, Aaron Ramsey and Santi Cazorla all signing new contracts recently.

According to The Telegraph, the club are eager to reward Koscielny for his form this season by giving him the opportunity to extend his stay in the capital.

The 28-year-old has been a regular figure in the heart of defence alongside Mertesacker during Arsenal's bid to win the Premier League title for the first time in 10 years.

Koscielny joined Arsenal from Lorient in the summer of 2010.
