Roma ponder Debuchy swoop

Italian giants AS Roma are believed to be eyeing a winter deal for out-of-favour Arsenal defender Mathieu Debuchy.

The France international joined the Gunners from Newcastle United last season, but struggled to seal a starting place due to a series of injuries.

Debuchy has since then played second fiddle to young right-back Hector Bellerin, who has been quite sensation for the FA Cup holders over the past year.

According to France Football, the Giallorossi aim to sign the French full-back as a replacement for Maicon in the January transfer window.

Debuchy has recently hinted that he could seek fresh pastures elsewhere in the quest of making it to Didier Deschamps' side for Euro 2016.
