It looks like Arsenal’s first signing of the summer may be Mathieu Debuchy.

The Chronicle, Newcastle local paper is reporting that Debuchy’s agent has already been in contact with Arsenal.

However, any deal will have to wait until France’s participation in the world cup is over.

It is believed that Arsenal will have to pay £12 million for his services which mean they will double their money. Debuchy will be Sagna’s replacement which has been the centre of discussion this summer.

No more #NUFC hashtag

Moreover, another thing which has changed in the past 24 hours is his Twitter bio. Debuchy has removed ‘#NUFC player’ from there which has indicated his long term future may be away from the club which has consequently added more fuel to the fire.

In my opinion, Debuchy will be an astute addition to this Arsenal team. Debuchy has impressed in this world cup and has premier league experience unlike Aurier.

Furthermore, Debuchy will provide excellent learning opportunities for understudies Jenkinson and Bellerin.

If Arsenal can get this deal done in then means we can move on in terms of other positions and targets.
