St Etienne fullback Mathieu Debuchy admits he wanted to quit Arsenal earlier than last week.
Debuchy signed for ASSE after having his contract terminated by the Gunners.
He told RMC: "No regrets for not leaving Arsenal earlier? I would have liked to leave Arsenal before. I had opportunities, the coach refused. And there were periods of transfer windows where I did not have the choice of clubs that suited me.
"The facts made me stay at Arsenal. I would have preferred to play every weekend in another club, but now I have no regrets, it's like that."
