Man United: Arsenal Eyeing Smalling To Replace Outgoing Koscielny?
Having developed into one of the most consistent centre halves in the country this season, Arsenal’s Laurent Koscielny is not short of admirers.
The French stopper, who is currently locked in contract negotiations with the North London club, is looking less likely to commit to the Gunners’ cause with every day that passes, and that has sparked interest from all over the continent, with the likes of Bayern Munich, PSG and Monaco all readying their chequebooks.
But in a blow to Arsenal fans, it appears that their star defender could yet make a surprise move across the capital - into the waiting arms of Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho.
Having only offered captain John Terry a one year extension on reduced money, the Blues are considering the possibility that they may well be a central defender short at the beginning of next campaign - and Koscielny would fill that void nicely.
It would certainly be a heartbreaking development for Arsenal fans, but, as always, In Arsene They Trust, and if you believe some sources, it appears that the boss might be looking to Man United’s £12 million rated Chris Smalling as a potential replacement.
The gangly stopper has already admitted that he is a Gunner through and through, and he nearly made a move to the Emirates from Fulham back in 2010, but it didn’t develop.
Either way, it looks like there may well be some movement on the transfer merry-go-round this summer. Would Arsenal fans be happy to lose their most solid defender if it meant they could sign the young, English international in return?

Sabotage times is really an appropriate name, with the ridiculous notion that he is going to leave for Chelsea... twat!
you article is a load of rubbish laurent koscienly is tied to a contract till 2017 arsenal are looking at rewarding him with a new contract on an increased salary as he is so important to us where do you get this drivel from at least check your sources or get a decent writer.
They say when you ask them that they don't have a negative agenda against Arsenal. They being the pathetic idiotic trash that try and unsettle AFC. The author of this article pulled this crap out of his wifes arse. Kocielny to Chelsea? Ha ha ha! If Mourinho did put an offer in for Kocielny, Wenger should tell him bids start at 40M . Remember Mourinho blocked Demba Ba from going to Arsenal on loan, so he can go fuck himself, he's a parasite.
Absolute bullshit - who makes this crap up???
