Laurent Koscielny 'reaches agreement with Rennes' as he continues to try and force Arsenal exit

Laurent Koscielny has reportedly reached a contractual agreement with Rennes.

Arsenal announced last week that the former France international had refused to fly to the United States and it is understood his decision came after his request to have his contract terminated and find a new club was rejected.

The player, who has one year left on his contract, is doing everything he can to force a move back to his home country and has been in negotiations with Rennes, according to RMCsport.
