Mathieu Debuchy has admitted that he has considered his future at Arsenal.
The French international admits he considered leaving the club after losing his place in their starting line-up to Hector Bellerin.
“It is difficult,” Debuchy 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,” he added. “It was a surprise and a disappointment.
“Let’s say it (leaving) crossed my mind. But I want to be at Arsenal and to take my place.”
