Ian Wright fumes over Laurent Koscielny stunt after Arsenal transfer

Laurent Koscielny tarnished his legacy at Arsenal even further.

Ian Wright is absolutely fuming with former Arsenal captain Laurent Koscielny.

The veteran French centre-back quit the Gunners to join Bordeaux on Tuesday after a nine-year spell in North London.

Koscielny is widely reported to have refused to go on Arsenal’s pre-season tour last month in an effort to force a transfer away from the club.

And to add insult to injury, the 33-year-old’s unveiling at the Ligue 1 club has infuriated Arsenal fans – and indeed the club’s legendary hitman.

In the video, Koscielny is seen wearing an Arsenal shirt, before taking it off to reveal a Bordeaux one.

And suffice to say that Wright is furious, claiming that he should be ‘ashamed of himself’.

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. https://t.co/7ShuTVss2u

It’s definitely disrespectful, but it was more than likely Bordeaux’s idea, not Koscielny’s.

Still, he is old and bold enough to refuse these type of stunts if he deemed it insensitive, and the fact that he went along with it makes him complicit.
