​Man City and Marseille target Arsenal's Koscielny

Arsenal defender Laurent Koscielny is said to be on the radar of rivals Manchester City and Ligue One club Marseille.

French TV programme Telefoot reports that Koscielny might want to leave the Emirates to pursue a title. Pep Guardiola is reportedly looking to solidify his defence over the summer and Koscielny could fit the bill.

For Marseille, Koscielny is high on their list as they continue to make efforts to build a strong squad, having already acquired countrymen Dimitri Payet from West Ham and Patrice Evra from Juventus during the January transfer window.

It is hard too see Koscielny departing North London but it wouldn't be the first time Arsenal fans were subjected to a shock departure.
