Mathieu Debuchy (L) has been in pre-season action for Arsenal

Bordeaux are set to approach Arsenal to try to sign full-back Mathieu Debuchy, according to Sky sources.

Debuchy spent the second half of last season on loan at the Ligue 1 club but only made nine appearances due to injury.

Sky Sports News HQ understands Bordeaux would like to sign Debuchy on a permanent deal but would be open to a loan move if necessary.

Debuchy had an injury-hit loan spell at Bordeaux last season

Debuchy has three years left on his contract at Arsenal but has played just 12 games for the club since joining from Newcastle in July 2014.
