Juventus plan Debuchy swoop

Italian champions Juventus will seek to sign out-of-favour Arsenal defender Mathieu Debuchy in January, according to reports.

The France international was expected to firm his place in the Gunners setup following a injury-plagued 2014/15 campaign.

However, the 30-year-old lost his spot to young right-back Hector Bellerin following his side's 2-0 thumping at the hands of West Ham United in the Premier League opener.

This has had a dent on the player's international future as he was dropped out of France's squad for the upcoming friendlies against Armenia and Denmark.

According to Football Italia, the Old Lady will look to land Debuchy's services in the New Year, as Stephan Lichtsteiner recovers from a cardiac surgery.

Debuchy joined the Gunners from Newcastle United in the summer of 2014.
