Besiktas have joined the battle for Arsenal fullback Mathieu Debuchy.

Debuchy has been put up for sale by the Gunners since the beginning of the summer market, but as yet no serious bid has arrived.

Marseille are keen, but as they dither Besiktas have now stepped in for the France international.

Fanatik says Besiktas have approached Arsenal about a price for the defender.

The Turks have been busy working in the Premier League market this month and have the cash power to sign the Frenchman.
