Newcastle United are considering buying back Mathieu Debuchy from Arsenal.

The Daily Star Sunday says the 31-year-old French right back has become a forgotten figure at The Emirates and following a series of injuries has lost his place to Hector Bellerin, 24.

After being dropped from the latest French squad, he is now ready to review his future in January, with his former club Newcastle monitoring events.

Paris St Germain and Monaco are also playing a waiting game.

Debuchy joined Arsenal from Newcastle a year ago for £12million and has only played three times this season.
