Report: Arsenal fullback Mathieu Debuchy could join Galatasaray

Arsenal defender Mathieu Debuchy could be on the brink of signing for Turkish giants Galatasaray on loan. Turkish sources say the Frenchman has already agreed personal terms with the Turkish outfit.

The 31-year-old veteran still has three years left on his Emirates contract since he joined the Gunners in 2014, and has been part of the playing squad touring around the USA as part of their pre-season.

Debuchy has racked up 22 appearances for the north London side during his two years stay at the Emirates, having made 46 appearances for the Magpies before joining to Arsene Wenger’s side for a fee around £12m.

A move to Turkey would be ideal decision for the experienced full-back who has made just 12 Premier League appearances over the last two seasons. Furthermore, fallen down the pecking order at Arsenal will affect his chances with the national team as well.
