Arsenal have told club captain Laurent Koscielny he can leave the club, according to the Daily Express. The Report suggests that Emery has informed Koscielny he can leave if he can find first-team football elsewhere. The French centre-back has recently recovered from an Achilles injury he sustained in May. Barcelona are one of the clubs who may have an interest in Koscielny.
