Laurent Koscielny has left the door slightly open for a move from Arsenal to Marseille, admitting he supported the club growing up.
The France international is a key man at the Emirates Stadium and Arsenal would likely do all they can to block his departure – but Koscielny's words have handed Marseille some encouragement.
Marseille's chances of signing Koscielny may be rated as small, but the French giants beat the odds earlier this year when they snapped up Dimitri Payet from West Ham. The defender is clear that unlike Payet though, he is happy in London.
"I have a contract with Arsenal, which I extended last November. At the moment I am a Gunner, I feel great there", Koscielny said on Telefoot.
However, Koscielny left the door open slightly for Marseille.
