Laurent Koscielny show his interest in England atmosphere and can't wait to start play in English Premier League after years of watching the Premier league from a far.

The Ex-Lorient defender joined Arsenal last month and made a great first impression when he partnered with Thomas Vermaeleen in the Emirates Cup and pre-season matches. Koscielny start against AC Milan and substitute against Celtic in Emirates Cup last weekend.

Koscielny said that he watched Premier league so much in France and it is a very physical league with fast and intense pace.

"I used to follow the Big Four of English football; Manchester United, Arsenal, Liverpool and Chelsea. I love the atmosphere here with the supporters. Even when you lose, the supporters are always behind you to lift you and take you to a higher level."

The new signed, Koscielny also thought Tottenham and Manchester City can challenged the traditional Big Four for a Champions League spot this season based on their performance last season.

"Maybe, though I do not know if money solves all the problems," he said.

"A football team is made of 11 talented players; it is not only one good player that makes the team win the match. So I don't know if Manchester City can perform right at the top level, but maybe they can."
