Ian Wright slams Koscielny over Bordeaux transfer reveal -

Former Arsenal striker, Ian Wright, has lashed out at Laurent Koscielny over the ‘disrespect’ he has shown the club, following his move to Bordeaux.

Koscielny completed his £4.6m move to Bordeaux on Tuesday and his new club unveiled their signing with a short promotional video.

However, it has not gone down well with Arsenal fans, as it shows Koscielny wearing a Gunners shirt, before taking it off to reveal his new Bordeaux kit underneath.

Wright, in reaction to the video, tweeted: “This hurts. The level of disrespect.

“You should be ashamed for the way you’ve left the club after 9 years!

“Got what you wanted and still trying to have a dig. Hope it’s worth it in the long run.”

He added in another tweet: “So unnecessary. 9 years and you do this…makes no sense.”

Relations between Koscielny and Arsenal quickly soured, after he refused to go on the pre-season tour of America, in a bid to force a move away from north London.

A tense stand-off ensued with Koscielny wanting the club to let him leave for free, despite having a year left on his contract.
