Mathieu Debuchy admits he’s been considering leaving Arsenal after seeing Hector Bellerin replace him in the starting XI.
The France international saw rookie Bellerin establish himself as a regular last season while he was on the sidelines nursing injury problems.
And despite returning stronger than ever in pre-season, Bellerin kept his place in the team for the Community Shield, which left Debuchy considering his future.
‘It is difficult,’ he told L’Equipe.
‘Even if I had not played a lot last season, in my head I would return to start after my recovery.
‘But, at the Community Shield against Chelsea, Wenger chose him, Bellerin.
‘It was a surprise and a disappointment. Let’s say it crossed my mind (leaving).
‘But I want to be at Arsenal and to take my place.’
Debuchy is currently on international duty with France and will hope a strong showing can help him his battle to usurp Bellerin in the Arsenal team.
