New Gunners star champing at the bit

New Arsenal signing Laurent Koscielny can’t wait to make his debut in the EPL. The French defender joined the Gunners from Lorient last month and impressed in the recent Emirates Cup for his new employers. "In France I watched the Premier League a lot. It is a very physical league, with a fast and intense pace,” said the 24-year-old on Tuesday. "I used to follow the Big Four of English football — Manchester United, Arsenal, Liverpool and Chelsea.” He added: "I love the atmosphere here with the supporters. Even when you lose, the supporters are always behind you to lift you and take you to a higher level."
