Turkish Super League giants Besiktas have been linked with a move for out-of-favour Arsenal full-back Mathieu Debuchy.

The France international has endured a torrid spell at the Emirates and is expected to be shipped out before the window slams shut in a fortnight.

A potential return to France has been mooted, with Marseille leading the chase for his signature.

However, it has now emerged that Besiktas are also interested and are preparing to offer Debuchy £2.3m-per-season, according to reports in Turkey.

The 32-year-old spent most of last season on loan at Bordeaux but the Gunners are believed to want a permanent transfer this summer.
