# Premier League clubs to battle for Debuchy

Arsenal defender Mathieu Debuchy will likely leave the club this month, either on loan of permanently.

[It’s believed that a number of clubs are interested](https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/arsenal-news-transfer-rumours-mathieu-7118406) in acquiring his services, with Aston Villa and West Bromwich Albion looking to battle it out as they bid to stay up in the Premier League for another season.

Meanwhile, Roma are also said to be interested, as they look to solidify their options in the UEFA Champions League run-in during the coming weeks.

The Frenchman has played a bit-part role in the Gunners’ successes this campaign, playing just twice in the Premier League in the absence of Hector Bellerin, while his Champions League performance against Bayern Munich at the Allianz Arena was seen as ‘underwhelming’ by most.

With the European Championship in France coming up in the summer, Debuchy’s place in the competition is far from solidified, so he will likely look for a move away in order to gain some regular football for the next few months.
