Arsenal secures Newcastle鈥檚 Debuchy
Print Edition
ARSENAL completed its swoop for France defender Mathieu Debuchy from Newcastle United on Thursday in a deal reported to be worth around 15 million euros (US$20 million).
Debuchy has been a long-term target for Arsene Wenger and the Gunners’ manager finally got his man as the right-back put pen to paper on a long-term contract.
The 28-year-old, who was part of the French squad which reached the World Cup quarterfinals, is the ideal replacement for compatriot Bacary Sagna, who left Arsenal to join Premier League Manchester City on a free transfer last month.
Debuchy becomes Arsenal’s second signing since the end of last season following the 30 million euros arrival of Chile winger Alexis Sanchez from Barcelona.
“We are delighted to welcome Mathieu Debuchy to Arsenal,” Wenger told the club’s website. “He has shown he can perform at the highest level with his club sides and also for France. He is a quality defender who has good Premier League experience and I’m confident he will fit in very well with us.”
Also, former Manchester United defender Rio Ferdinand signed for QPR on a free transfer on Thursday and revealed he had turned down more lucrative offers in order to return to London.
Ferdinand agreed a one-year deal with the Hoops, ending his search for a new club after being released by United last month.
