Right-back Mathieu Debuchy has joined Bordeaux on a six-month loan deal from Arsenal, the Ligue 1 side said on Monday.

The 30-year-old France international defender has only started 12 Premier League matches since joining the Gunners from Newcastle United 18-months ago, having also spent 10 years and played 301 games at Lille.

"It's hard to imagine it. Bordeaux signing a France international from the Premier League," Bordeaux president Jean-louis Triaud said after the signing.

Debuchy was part of the Euro 2012 and World Cup 2014 squads for France, for whom he last played in September 2015 in a 2-1 win over Serbia, at Bordeaux's magnificent brand new stadium, built for the 2016 Euro.
