adminThe centre-back has had his best season at the Emirates since arriving from Lorient in 2010, and Bayern Munich had earlier been reported as a possible destination for the French international, with the German giants rumoured to be lining up a £15m bid.
Koscielny said he is enjoying life at the club, but became the latest in a long line of Arsenal stars to challenge the Gunners to mount a more meaningful challenge for honours.
“I want to lift trophies and to have a winning record. I hope the club will give me the means. If this weren’t the case, I’d look elsewhere,” Koscielny told Eurosport.
“I want to win titles and I hope the club has the means. It deserves it. Does the club want to keep me? That question is also there.”
Koscielny (27) has cemented a place in the Gunners’ first-team, forming a formidable partnership with Per Mertesacker and key to Arsenal’s 10-match unbeaten run which saw them claim the final Champions League qualification spot.
“I feel good at Arsenal. I’ve just come to the end of a complicated season, especially the first six months, but it’s over now.
“If the club has the means to compete with the best, I have no reason to leave. But if it fights every year for Champions League (qualification) it’s hard psychologically to be under such constant pressure. — Mailonline.
