Out of favor Arsenal defender Mathieu Debuchy has not been given many first team chances this season and is keen on a move away from the Emirates, according to a report from ESPN.
The 32-year-old has been at the club for three years and throughout this time, he’s struggled to prove himself after his move from Newcastle.
He has also been plagued with injuries, which included a serious ankle injury, that game Hector Bellerin a chance to take the first-choice place in Arsene Wenger’s side and the Spaniard took it and he’s not looked back ever since.
The Frenchman spoke about what he thinks about his current situation.
I want to leave, to find a new challenge in January. The fact I’m playing well will give me opportunities,
The former Newcastle man is thought to be keen on a move back to France after spending time with Lille in recent years :
As of this moment, I still don’t know why [a transfer] didn’t come through. I was really close to Nice. I met Julien Fournier [Nice’s CEO], and I also met the coach in a hotel in the city. We talked a lot. I passed tests to reassure them, and everything was great. I was waiting for them to get back to me, but in the end they never did, not even a little message. I was very disappointed with that attitude, especially from Mr Fournier, but I’ve moved on and it’s allowed me to play very high-level games with Arsenal again.
