Laurent Koscielny says he's leaning towards staying with Arsenal.

The France defender is a big money summer target for Olympique Marseille.

But he told SFR Sport yesterday: "Before arriving at Arsenal, I had never stayed with a club for more than two years.

"There I finish my seventh season, it is something very important, even in my life apart from football. I have ties to this country, to this city because my children were born here, because I feel good about it.

"I am flourishing in this club. It would be very good to be able to go to the end of my contract (2020)."
