ARSENAL have agreed a deal to sign French defender Laurent Koscielny from Lorient, according to the Sun.
The newspaper claims Arsene Wenger has agreed a fee of £8.5million with the French side after much bartering between the two clubs.
It is thought Koscielny will put pen to paper on a four-year deal at the Emirates worth around £25,000 a week.
