Arsenal defender Laurent Koscielny is being linked with Real Madrid.

The Daily Star Sunday says Rafa Benitez will make a big-money move for Koscielny if he takes over as Real Madrid boss.

The former Liverpool boss, 55, is poised to be named as the Bernabeu chief and has already drawn up a wish-list of potential targets.

Arsenal defender Koscielny is on the Spaniard's radar but Arsene Wenger would be reluctant to lose the Frenchman, 29.
