2) Mathieu Debuchy (Newcastle United)
The second senior option for Wenger seems to be Frenchman Mathieu Debuchy, who has enjoyed two good seasons with Newcastle United in the Premier League since arriving from Ligue 1 club Lille OSC.
Debuchy is actually preferred to Sagna by French national team manager Didier Deschamps, indicating that the Gunners could even be getting an upgrade if they are able to agree a fee of around £12m with the Magpies for Debuchy’s services.
Solid both in defence and capable of creating in attack, Debuchy would represent a sensible and low-risk option for Wenger.
