Arsenal boss Unai Emery has reportedly told Laurent Koscielny that he is free to leave in January.
Koscielny has been linked with a move away from Arsenal, with Barcelona said to be interested in the centre-back.
And Emery has reportedly told Koscielny that he is willing to let him go.
The French international defender has not played at all this season, following an injury.
And Arsenal boss Emery is reportedly happy with his defensive options already, with Sokratis, Shokdran Mustafi and Rob Holding all impressing at centre-back this term.
Arsenal are now said to have told Koscielny, who is on a £75,000-a-week (Daily Express), that he is free to leave at the next opportunity.
It is now yet clear what sort of fee the Gunners would want for the 33-year-old, if they were to sell him.
