Arsenal skipper Laurent Koscielny has attracted interest from Fenerbache over a summer move, according to Turkish outlet Fanatik.

The report says that Fenerbache chief Damien Comolli – formerly of Liverpool and Tottenham – was in attendance at last week’s Europa League final and engaged the Gunners in talks for the French international as well as team-mate Mohamed Elneny.

Koscielny led the Gunners out in Baku but was unable to lift the trophy as Unai Emery’s side were thumped 4-1 by Chelsea, following a second half collapse.

The Frenchman did exceptionally well to battle back from a serious injury sustained against Atletico Madrid in last season’s Europa League semi-finals to regain his starting berth, but the years are catching up with him now.

Arsenal fans on Twitter seem pleased with the reports linking Koscielny – who Spotrac claim earns £90,000 a week – with a summer exit, feeling that he is over the hill now and that their club needs new blood at the back.

Koscielny is a symbol of the Arsene Wenger era at the Emirates Stadium and Arsenal fans want to see change – which they feel will return their side to the pinnacle of club and domestic football.

That’s why they want the man who has been such a loyal servant out the door this summer – they’re hoping the reports from Turkey are true…
