Arsenal star eyes France call-up

Arsenal midfield sensation Francis Coquelin is determined to earn a spot in the French national team for Euro 2016.

The 24-year-old has been a key member of the Gunners' setup following a successful loan spell with Charlton in the first-half of last season.

Coquelin, who has featured for his national team at every youth level, is hopeful that his performances at Arsenal get noticed by Didier Deschamps ahead of next summer's showpiece.

"Every player wants to represent their country and the Euros in France is something massive for any French player to be a part of," he told the club's official website.

"If I play well here maybe I will get a chance for France, but the most important thing is Arsenal."

Coquelin has played all four league games for the Gunners this term.
