Abou Diaby is one of the established French players in the arsenal squad. Koscielny expects fellow French players Samir Nasri, Gael Clichy, Bacary Sagna and Abou Diaby will help him settle in north London.

"It is nice for French players to come and join a team like Arsenal, where there are so many other French players," Koscielny said. "It will help me to integrate easily in the team."
