Koscielny's progress pleases Wenger

Cape Town - Arsenal's long-serving manager Arsène Wenger says it is “really satisfying” to see French defender Laurent Koscielny fulfil his potential.

The France international has developed into one of the Premier League’s foremost defenders since joining from Ligue 1 side Lorient in the summer of 2010.

Koscielny was relatively unknown when he signed for Arsenal, which the boss says makes his continuous development all the more rewarding.
