Mathieu Debuchy – signed from Newcastle United, £12m
The departure of Bacary Sagna to Manchester City on a free transfer meant that it was crucial a new right-back was signed to replace the Frenchman.
Wenger opted for a fellow countryman of Sagna in the shape of Debuchy, who has been playing solidly for Newcastle since a move there in January 2013.
At 28-years-old the France international is hardly a signing for the future and will be expected to make an immediate impact.
