Mathieu Debuchy admits he's considered his future at Arsenal.

Debuchy admits he considered leaving the club after losing his place in their starting line-up to Hector Bellerin.

"It is difficult," Debuchy told L'Equipe. "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," he added. "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."
