Laurent Koscielny: Arsenal defender scores brilliant rabona in training and then challenges Cristiano Ronaldo to perform the same

The crowd at the Emirates were delighted

It has often been said that Arsenal's Laurent Koscielny could play anywhere on the pitch, and here he is flicking in a delightful rabona goal in training during the Gunners' Member's Day at the Emirates yesterday.

The Gunners have been linked with a move for Real Madrid's Karim Benzema this summer, but they may not need him after all with a centre-back that can finish like this (watch video below).

Koscileny then challenged the world's best player, Cristiano Ronaldo to perform the same trick. Ronaldo had showed his own showboating prowess in Shanghai during Real Madrid training earlier in the day.

Uploading the video to his Instagram Koscielny wrote: "Can you do this Cristiano Ronaldo?"

The French defender performed a couple of kick-ups before chipping the ball into the top corner with a sublime rabona, much to the surprise of Jack Wilshere who was standing in the goal.

Koscielny, 29, joined Arsenal from Lorient for £10m back in 2009, and has become an integral part of the Gunners side.

Fellow Frenchman Benzema has been linked with a £40m bid, however reports that he was on a private jet on the way to London have proved to be false - he is in Shanghai with the rest of the Real Madrid squad on their pre-season tour.
