Laurent Koscielny says he has no reason to leave Arsenal, amid reported interest from Marseille.

The 31-year-old has made over 200 appearances for the Gunners after joining in 2010, and penned a new long-term deal in January.

He has said in the past that he was a Marseille fan when he was younger, but has ruled out a move to the Ligue 1 side.

"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 told the club's website.
