Coquelin signs new long-term contract


Francis Coquelin has signed a new long-term contract with the Club.

Since returning from a successful year long loan spell with French Ligue 1 side Lorient in the summer, the France youth international has featured 12 times for Arsène Wenger’s side.

Demonstrating his versatility with a string of fine performances in both holding midfield and defence, Coquelin has established himself as a valuable addition to the first team squad this term, putting in a man of the match performance against Tottenham in October and providing excellent cover in both full-back positions.

The youngster, who made his Arsenal debut in the Carling Cup victory over Sheffield United in September 2008 aged 17, has now racked up a total of 16 games at senior level.

As well as being a regular for the Reserves in recent seasons, he was an integral part of the FA Youth Cup-winning side of 2009 and a key member of the France team to win the European Under-19 Championships a year later.

Everyone at Arsenal looks forward to Francis' continued contribution to the Club in the years to come.


Great news.
He's a talented kid so I'm very glad we're hanging on to him. I reckon in a few years time he'll be one of the best midfielders in the league.

We seriously need to hang onto him. Him, Wilshere, Song and hopefully Frimpong will make a formidable midfield in the future for years to come!

He played very well today, Very combative and mobile in the middle and kept it simple on the ball. Happy.
