Mathieu Debuchy determined to leave Arsenal in January as defender reveals relationship with Arsene Wenger has deteriorated

Mathieu Debuchy has confirmed that he wants to leave Arsenal for good this January.

The 31-year-old has endured an injury-ravaged spell at the Emirates since arriving from Newcastle in a £12m deal in July 2014.

In the two-and-a-half years since he joined, Debuchy has started just 13 Premier League games and was sent out on loan to Bordeaux last season.

The emergence of Hector Bellerin has further dented his chances of establishing himself as a first-team regular at the club and another loan move in the New Year has been suggested.
