Arsenal confirmed the departure of Mathieu Debuchy, who joined French Ligue 1 side AS Saint-Etienne on a free transfer on deadline day. The 32-year-old had his contract terminated, making just 29 appearances in four years.
Signed from Newcastle United in 2014, Debuchy struggled for form and fitness at Arsenal. The French international, who represented his country on 27 occasions, was a regular at right-back in his debut season, before a ruptured ankle hampered his playing time.
He returned and played six league games before suffering a shoulder injury, and a thigh injury after that ended his season.
