Koscielny: I am very happy at Arsenal

Arsenal defender Laurent Koscielny has spoken of how happy he is at
the club and how he is enjoying his stay in London with his wife and
kids.

The 31 year old joined Arsenal in 2010 from Ligue 1 side Lorient.
After initially struggling in his first season at the club, he has
grown to become a stalwart of Arsenal's defence over this years. Now

he has very reason to be happy.

Speaking to the media as Arsenal concluded its pre-season tour of
Asia, he also reiterated that he wasn't leaving the club anytime soon
for any reason.

"When I first got here, I didn't think about how long I would stay at
this club – but now I am starting my eighth season so I am very happy
with this," he said

"I am happy in my life every day, not just the football but my life
with my wife and kids in London. We enjoy it, that's why I have stayed
for a long time here.

"I have a long contract with Arsenal and I have [no reason] to leave
the club. I am just here to enjoy my job and give everything for the
team, and get the best results for the club. If i can do all of that,
then I am happy.
"Arsene Wenger is a big [inspiration] for me. He bought me from France
and has given me everything to help me play for Arsenal, and has
helped me as a man too.

"I have a big [loyalty] to this club and to the boss too. I have
stayed here for seven years and I have learnt a lot from him, so I am
happy to be here with him and to fight for him because he is a great
person."
