“Francis has made tremendous technical strides over the past few years because he’s so focused every day,” Wenger added.
“Olivier has big experience in the game now and has become a more and more complete player since joining us.
“Laurent is of course a key part of our squad and I believe one of the best defenders in the world today. So overall, this is great news for us.”
Wenger and his side will hope to claim all three points when they travel to the Liberty Stadium to face Swansea City in the EPL on Saturday.
