# Arsenal agree Debuchy move with Sunderland & Villa

Arsenal have agreed to send Mathieu Debuchy out on loan with two different Premier League clubs, leaving the Frenchman with a decision to make.

It’s believed, [according to the *Football Insider*](https://www.footballinsider247.com/arsenal-to-announce-loan-agreement-after-new-talks/?), that the 30-year-old experienced right-back has the option of joining league strugglers Aston Villa, or north East side Sunderland, after the Gunners agreed a deal with both.

With the Frenchman seemingly off to a Premier League rival on a six-month loan deal, Arsenal have little depth at full-back, with Calum Chambers having been shifted over into the central defensive and midfield role.

Youngster Tafari Moore has yet to make a single senior appearance for the Gunners but could be forced into contention as the only natural solution, with the return of Carl Jenkinson impossible after the England international [damaged his cruciate ligament](https://readarsenal.com/2016/01/27/arsenal-loanee-return-club-season-ending-injury/) , ruling him out for the remainder of the season.

It [had been reported previously that Roma were also interested](https://readarsenal.com/2016/01/17/debuchy-i-must-leave-arsenal/) in Debuchy, although they look to now be out of the running.

Bayer Leverkusen were also touted to be in the running for the Frenchman.
