Arsenal right back Mathieu Debuchy is set to sign for French side
Nice. He is reported to be in France to undergo a medical. Its a move
which would end his three year association with Arsenal.
The 31 year old has endured a difficult period during that time at the
Emirates.
He arrived from Newcastle United shortly after the 2014 world cup for
a fee of £12m and settled in well at the club. However after a
shoulder injury while playing against Stoke City in a league match, he
never regained his composure as the player the club signed.
He was the subject of a bid from Manchester United during van Gaal's
first season at the club, a move that was vetoed by Arsene Wenger.
He engineered a loan move to Ligue Un side Bordeaux in a bid to secure
a place in France squad for Euro 2016. But fell short after another
round of injuries.
He returned to Arsenal last season, and didn't feature at all, but for
a league start that lasted just fifteen minutes after he got injured.
His association with Arsenal would be remembered on the premise of his
injuries and lossing his place in the French team during his peak
years. However, whatever silver lining there was from his injury
plagued Arsenal career was the discovery of the excellent Hector
Bellerin who has since become a steady player in that position.
