Francis Coquelin agrees one-year loan at Lorient

The news has just come in that the young Arsenal defender Francis Coquelin has agreed to join Lorient for next season as a loan deal. The French U18 international will go straight into the first team at the Ligue 1 side, and it will be great for his development to get lots of competitive first-team experience.

It was also revealed on Lorient’s official website that this agreement has nothing to do with the transfer negotiations for Laurent Koscielny, who is expected to turn up for pre-season training next week as usual.

Coquelin is an extremely promising defender and made three appearances for the Gunners senior side last season, and 12 for the reserves.
