Sebastien Corchia unlikely to join Arsenal

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."
