| Francis Coquelin is desperate to get his first senior cap for France |
FRANCIS COQUELIN admits he's desperate to perform well for Arsenal this season so he can secure his place in the France squad for Euro 2016.
Coquelin has yet to secure a senior cap despite representing France at all youth levels and was part of the winning European Under-19 Championship squad in 2010.
And after some stunning performances for Arsene Wenger's side last term, Coquelin is keen to continue his progress within the Gunners squad so he can secure his first senior cap for France.
"Every player wants to represent their country and the Euros in France is something massive for any French player to be a part of," he said.
"To be part of the squad would be amazing but there are loads of things to do first and the most important thing is Arsenal.
"If I play well here maybe I will get a chance for France, but the most important thing is Arsenal.
"As any French player would, though, you want to play for France and hopefully it can happen one day.
"It would be unbelievable. I won the Under-19 Euros and it was something unbelievable as well.
"To win the Euros with the French national team would be even more crazy.
"If I perform well here, maybe I will get the chance to play for France but I think the most important thing is to stay focused on Arsenal and then things will come along."
