Revealed: Mathieu Debuchy considers leaving Arsenal after losing place to Hector Bellerin
Arsenal's Mathieu Debuchy considered leaving Arsenal after losing his place to Hector Bellerin
MATHIEU DEBUCHY considered leaving Arsenal after losing his place to Hector Bellerin this season.
 
Arsene Wenger signed the France defender for a reported £12million last season as a replacement for Bacary Sagna, who moved to Manchester City.
But the 30-year-old's progress was disrupted by injury to his ankle ligaments and a dislocated shoulder, which limited him to just 11 Premier League starts.
 
He has featured only once this season, in the Gunners' 2-0 loss to West Ham in their first League match of the campaign, with the impressive 20-year-old Bellerin keeping him out of the side.
"It is difficult," said Debuchy. "Even if I had not played a lot last season, in my head I would return to start after my recovery.
 
"But, at the Community Shield against Chelsea, Wenger chose him, Bellerin. It was a surprise and a disappointment.
"Let's say it [leaving] crossed my mind. But I want to be at Arsenal and to take my place."
