da doce： It is reported that Newcastle United FC are set to make a fresh approach for French international full back Mathieu Debuchy.
da bet nacional： Arsenal are also believed to be targeting the £6million full back, who has been seeking a move to the Premier League since the start of last summer’s transfer window.
The Lille right back has drawn admiring glances in particular for his impressive performances for France in Euro 2012, despite the side exiting the tournament in lacklustre fashion.
Many Newcastle fans though won’t be overly confident of their club pulling off the deal this time around, despite retaining interest, due to a struggle to agree a fee for the star, in one of the summer’s longest transfer sagas.
It is believed the Toon are still looking at reinforcing the right back area with Danny Simpson’s future no nearer to being settled.
Despite this, there is no certainty of the club’s investment in the January transfer window, as Derek Llambias has stated that a board are taking a prudent approach to wages and transfers.
However, the Newcastle squad is threadbare and fresh injuries could yet change the mind of the club’s hierarchy.
Whilst Arsenal look on, it is thought that their interest remains lukewarm at best, with Sagna set to return to the side, alongside the emergence of Carl Jenkinson.
Even though a glimmer of hope of the club spending on new recruits is positive, the focus is on retaining their current stars at Newcastle.
The Magpies managed to turn away all overtures towards their big assets in the summer, but with January being a time where clubs can charge bloated fees; they may yet part with one of their stars. The £35 million deal for Andy Carroll being proof of the value of the window for selling clubs.
