Koscielny has committed his future to the Gunners.
Arsenal centre-back Laurent Koscielny has signed a new long term contract with the club after an impressive season at the Emirates Stadium.
“I am very proud to have reached agreement with the Club on a new contract,” Koscielny told the club’s website.
“I have enjoyed four great years at Arsenal already, and I look forward to continuing to help the team in the years to come.”
The France international has formed a brilliant partnership at the back with fellow central defender Per Mertesacker and between them they have helped the Gunners keep 16 clean-sheets this term.
Koscielny joined the north Londoners from Lorient in 2010 for a £10m fee and has since played 163 matches for the club in all competitions.
The 28-year-old has become the eighth player from Arsene Wenger’s squad to sign a new contract in 2014, along with Santi Cazorla, Serge Gnabry, Per Mertesacker, Aaron Ramsey, Tomas Rosicky, Wojciech Szczesny and Gedion Zelalem.
The only issue now is whether Koscielny’s national counterpart Bacary Sagna will also commit his future to the club.
It’s thought that the right-back will leave the side when his current deal expires in the summer, as negotiations between the two parties have broken down.
