Aston Villa are in talks with Arsenal fullback Mathieu Debuchy.

The Mirror says Debuchy was tonight having talks with Aston Villa to discuss a loan move until the end of the season.

Villa will have to pay around £1.5m in loan fee and take on his £60,000-a-week wages which has been a major stumbling block for other clubs.

But the Arsenal right back now seems likely to join Villa after interest from Roma, Monaco, Sunderland and Bayer Leverkusen fell away.
