Lyon Begin Talks With Laurent Koscielny With Two Year Contract in the Works

Lyon have joined Borussia Dortmund in the race to sign Arsenal defender Laurent Koscielny and have offered him a two year deal.

The Frenchman has been with the Gunners since 2010 and is one of the more experienced players in Unai Emery's squad. However, he only started 13 Premier League games last season due to injuries.

Foot Mercato report that the Frenchman is keen to return to his homeland, with Lyon an exciting prospect. The report claims that the Ligue 1 outfit have offered him a two year contract as they look to secure his signature.
