Manga signed to replace Arsenal's new boy

Lorient have wasted little time in replacing Laurent Koscielny, by signing Bruno Ecuele Manga. Manga is a Gabonese international and the 21-year-old arrives from newly promoted Angers on a four-year deal. Lorient have moved for Manga to replace Koscielny - who is expected to be unveiled by Arsenal in the next 24 hours. "The timing is perfect. The arrival of Bruno is not a coincidence," said Lorient boss Christian Gourcuff. "We have been following him for two years and when it became known that Arsenal were interested in Laurent, we became active."
