New Napoli coach Rafa Benitez is looking to bring Arsenal’s Laurent Koscielny to the Partenopei according to Il Mattino.
Koscielny is the latest central defender to be linked with a move to the peninsula, with Liverpool‘s Daniel Agger and Martin Skrtel also rumoured to be on Benitez’s wishlist.
Having joined Arsenal from Lorient in 2010, Koscielny was outstanding last season in helping the Gunners secure Champions League football for the 17th consecutive season.
Koscielny still has four years left on his contract, meaning that Napoli would have to part with over £15 million to lure the French defender to the Stadio San Paolo.
Would be so typical of Arsenal that when a player has his first outstanding season, they sell him on!
This is pure paper talk, Napoli couldn’t afford him and he isn’t leaving. And as for Kevin… His first decent season? U clearly haven’t got a clue. He has been immense for 2seasons now.
Ya it’s rubbish. And yes, he has now had a few good seasons
