Arsenal aim to sign Newcastle fullback Debuchy today

Arsenal are expected to announce the signing of Newcastle United fullback Mathieu Debuchy today.

Following the arrival of Holland full-back Daryl Janmaat from Feyenoord, the Magpies are now happy to finalise the departure of Debuchy, in what is expected to be a £10million deal.

The 28-year-old, who was part of the French World Cup squad which reached the quarter-finals in Brazil, will present ready-made Premier League cover for Bacary Sagna, who earlier this summer left Arsenal to join Manchester City on a free transfer.
