St Etienne have made a move for Arsenal fullback Mathieu Debuchy.
TF1 says ASSE are eager to take Debuchy on-loan for the second-half of this season.
For his part, Debuchy has declared he's ready to leave Arsenal this month after finding himself frozen out by manager Arsene Wenger for the past year.
Before Christmas, the fullback said: “I want to leave, to find a new challenge in January.
“The fact I'm playing well will give me opportunities.
“We'll see if there are good opportunities in the transfer window. I'm open."
