Saint-Etienne join race to sign Arsenal defender Mathieu Debuchy?

Arsenal defender Mathieu Debuchy has reportedly emerged as a transfer target for Saint-Etienne.

While Debuchy has made seven starts for the Gunners this season, the full-back remains available for transfer and West Bromwich Albion have already been linked with a move for the player.

However, according to The Mirror, Saint-Etienne are interested in adding the 32-year-old to their ranks, either in January or at the end of the season.

Debuchy is still looking for first-team football in an attempt to make a late bid for France's World Cup squad, despite facing fierce competition for a place.

West Brom could potentially ask for Debuchy to be included in any deal for Jonny Evans, with the Gunners said to be keen on the Northern Ireland international.
