Juventus not interested in Arsenal defender Debuchy

Italian champions Juventus have no intention of going after Arsenal's Mathieu Debuchy according to reports.


The Bianconeri have been strongly linked with the French right-back recently but a report from Sky Sports, which emanated in Italy, indicates there is nothing to the speculation.

Debuchy has fallen down the pecking order at the Emirates Stadium and is eager for regular game time as he sets his sights on Euro2016 in his homeland with Les Bleus, suggesting a January transfer was on the cards.

But any potential move to Serie A giants Juventus is unlikely as manager Massimiliano Allegri is not even thinking about transfers at this stage.

The Old Lady have been using central defensive veteran Giorgio Chiellini at right-back while Swiss international Stephan Lichsteiner overcomes a cardiac issue but still have no plans to sign 30-year-old former Lille and Newcastle United man Debuchy.
