Arsenal Transfer Round Up: Frenchman barely on speaking terms with Wenger; club ready to sell defender in January

Arsenal defender, Mathieu Debuchy, has revealed that he and Arsène Wenger are now barely on speaking terms, and that he wishes to leave the club in January.

The 31-year-old has played only 16 minutes of Premier League football this season, and has been sidelined with a thigh injury since November. The French right-back is under contract at Arsenal until 2019, but he wants to leave the club as early as next month in a bid to secure first-team football elsewhere.

Debuchy said, as quoted by L’Equipe:

[I want] a way out.
