The Telegragh are claiming that Arsenal defender Laurent Koscielny will be the next Arsenal star to be offered a contract extension.

This becomes great news as Arsenal are beginning to tie down key players in order to gain success.

The player who joined in 2010 has become a great success and a standout figure in the defence, with brilliant performances of late.

Along with the partnership of Per Mertesacker, the two players have kept club captain Thomas Vermaelen out of the starting line-up causing a strong line of defence which has been tough to crack.

The news can only be seen as positive after the contract extensions of Santi Cazorla, Aaron Ramsay, Tomas Rosicky, Gedion Zelalem and partner in defence Per Mertesacker.

Arsenal seem to be making positive progress for future glory, but the question remains about Bacary Sagna and where his future stands.

Most fans would love to see Sagna, Koscielny & most importantly Wenger sign new deals
