Giroud, Coquelin may sign new deals

Olivier Giroud and Francis Coquelin are set to pen contract extensions at Arsenal, according to French news outlet RMC.

The Gunners are currently in negotiations with several first-team stars regarding fresh terms, with the futures of Alexis Sanchez and Mesut Ozil in north London dominating the headlines of late.

The Premier League title hopefuls are close to getting two deals over the line, with France international striker Giroud poised to prolong his stay by a further 12 months to 2019.

Coquelin, meanwhile, will sign up for another two years, with his agreement set to take him through to the summer of 2021.
