Valencia have announced that they have reached an agreement to sign Francis Coquelin from Arsenal, with the value of the deal reportedly worth £12 million.
Coquelin had joined Arsenal in 2008 as a youth, and made 150 Premier League appearances for the club, but had not featured prominently this season. Indeed, he played only seven times for the Gunners in the league this season, starting only once - at centre-back in a 3-1 loss to Manchester City.
Valencia took advantage of the 26-year-old's lack of game time to swoop for the former France Under-21 international, who will bolster their push for a top-four finish in La Liga.
