Arsene Wenger has claimed Mathieu Debuchy could feature as a centre back more regularly after the Frenchman impressed as part of a back three on his return from injury.
The 32-year-old joined Arsenal from Newcastle in 2014 as right back but has made just 25 appearances in all competitions after being plagued by injuries and facing intense competition from Hector Bellerin.
Debuchy made his first appearance for Arsenal since November 2016 during last month's 1-0 win at Red Star Belgrade in the Europa League and played every minute of the Gunners' extra-time Carabao Cup victory over Norwich City last week.
