Arsenal defender Koscielny: Kimpembe after my place!

Arsenal defender Laurent Koscielny is full of praise for young France teammate Presnel Kimpembe.

The PSG stopper has been tracked by the Gunners, along with Chelsea and Liverpool.

Koscielny enthused: "He is a young player with a lot of experience. He's a good guy, he's listening.

"He knows his time will come. Yes, I feel that he grows, but they will have room soon. With Sam (Umtiti), I know they are there on the lookout, but I will try to continue a few months with the team of France."

Koscielny has confirmed he will retire after the World Cup from international football.
