There were a few question marks over Laurent Koscielny when he first moved to the Premier League, but he’s improved significantly to be Arsenal’s first choice centre-back.

The 31-year-old moved to North London in 2010 from French side Lorient, and it took him a while to adapt to the physicality of English football, but adapt he has.

The French international is now one of the better centre-backs in the league and, although he is still prone to the odd error, he more than makes up for them with goal-saving challenges and an organisation of the Gunners back four which hasn’t always been seen in recent years.
