A host of Arsenal fans are still in the Football Transfer Tavern celebrating their last gasp equaliser against Man Utd on Saturday…
Games between the Gunners and Man Utd are often fiery affairs, and this one was no different.
Granted, our punters had touted Arsenal for a win from the outset, but the roar then went up in the Tavern when Giroud scored that last minute equaliser was absolutely deafening.
The Arsenal fans have been coming into the Tavern all day with huge smiles across their faces – and it would seem likely that they are about to be made even happier…
According to L’Equipe, Arsenal defender Laurent Koscielny is ready to put pen to paper on a new deal with the club in an extension that will see him remain at the Emirates until 2020.
Our landlord is touting this as a stroke of genius by Arsene Wenger, given that Koscielny has proven that he is one of the Premier League’s finest defenders.
Powerful, quick and technical – the French centre-half has everything, and the partnership that he has formed with Shkodran Mustafi this season has been outstanding.
Since joining Arsenal in 2010, Koscielny has made nearly 200 league appearances – which is a testament to his longevity at the club.
A few of the Arsenal fans leaning against the bar have touted his partnership with Mustafi as Europe’s best – and they can’t wait for them to dominate the Arsenal defence for years to come.
