Manchester City should snap up these 2 Arsenal stars this summer

Laurent Koscielny

Ultimately, City’s biggest issue this season has been their defensive woes, with centre-backs John Stones and Nicolas Otamendi both making high-profile errors, while the full-backs haven’t endeared themselves to Guardiola either.

Thus, that area needs seriously strengthening this season, and one man they have been loosely linked with in recent times is Laurent Koscielny, who has arguably been one of the best centre-backs in the Premier League over the last few years.

The France international has been a constant in that Arsenal backline for a while now, and the two games against Bayern Munich this season, which saw the Gunners concede eight times when the 31-year-old went off the field, says it all about his significance and standing in this Arsenal team.

Marseille are also thought to be interested in Koscielny, but if Guardiola wants a proven Premier League defender who is also adept with the ball at his feet, the Gunners ace could be his man this summer.
