The France right-back will be confirmed as the Gunners' first summer signing when the formalities of the transfer are completed in the coming days. Arsenal will pay an upfront fee of £8m for Debuchy that will be supplemented by appearance-related add-ons.
Barring any late hitches, the Frenchman will be confirmed as Bacary Sagna’s successor later this week, with the possibility that it could be timed to coincide with the launch of the new Puma kit deal on Thursday.
