Sochaux right back Sebastien Corchia would rather stay in France for the time being as opposed to joining Arsenal. The French youngster has been linked with the Gunners as a possible replacement for Bacary Sagna.
With Sagna's contract at Arsenal coming into its final year, the Emirates based club are hoping to find a successor as soon as possible.
22-year-old Corchia, who has been with Sochaux since 2011, has been suggested as a possible replacement for Sagna. The French under-21 international however, has reportedly told his agent that he would prefer to remain in his homeland.
Francois Gilles, the player's agent quipped: "Sebastien has chosen. Lyon is the future, this is what he wants (and) is what he has planned. I can at least confirm that today."
