Now it is official – the transfer of Laurent Koscielny to French side Bordeaux has gone through and the experienced defender will return back home for the final stretches of his career.

Koscielny has been a part of the Gunners’ family for nine years and has made 353 appearances for the London team, scoring 27 goals and assisting further five along the way.

He joined the Gunners from Lorient in 2010 and has since lifted the Emirates FA Cup back in 2014, 2015 and finally, two years ago, in 2017, making his stint in England quite successful.

And now that his transfer has been confirmed, various Arsenal stars have taken to Instagram to wish him all the best.

Alexandre Lacazette was among the first ones there, stating how it was a real pleasure to play alongside him.

But he wasn’t the only one as Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Nacho Monreal did the same thing.

And just earlier, the experienced Frenchman has also taken to social media to send his fans a heartfelt message upon leaving the club after a long spell.

Still, as the official statement confirmed, he was entering the final year of his contract so this was a sensible move for both parties involved.
