Arsenal captain Laurent Koscielny has reportedly agreed terms with Rennes as the Frenchman prepares to leave the Emirates Stadium in this summer's transfer window.
Koscielny refused to link up with the Arsenal squad on their pre-season tour of the United States and Gunners boss Unai Emery has since conceded that the centre-back could be on his way out this summer.
According to RMC Sport, Bordeaux had been the favourites to sign the 33-year-old, but Rennes have now agreed a contract with the former France international, who could cost in the region of £10m.
Koscielny missed the latter stages of the 2017-18 campaign and 2018 World Cup with an Achilles injury but recovered to feature on 29 occasions for the Gunners last term.
The experienced centre-back turned out for Guingamp, Tours and Lorient in France before moving to the Emirates Stadium.
