Arsenal fullback Debuchy moves to Bordeaux on loan

Ligue 1 club Bordeaux has signed Arsenal fullback Mathieu Debuchy on loan for the rest of the season.

Out-of-favor Arsenal right back Mathieu Debuchy has joined Bordeaux on loan until the end of the season.

Debuchy has made just seven appearances for Arsenal this season, with Hector Bellerin having established himself as Arsene Wenger's first-choice right back.

The former Lille man has therefore opted to move back to Ligue 1 in an attempt to secure regular first-team football and a place in France's squad for Euro 2016.

Reports suggested that Manchester United was keen on a deadline-day swoop for the right back due to its injury crisis in defense, although Wenger is thought to have rejected the prospect of strengthening a rival.
