Arsenal have reportedly decided that they will not ask for a transfer fee for defender Mathieu Debuchy.
In 2014, Gunners boss Arsene Wenger paid Newcastle United a fee of £12m to sign the France international, but he has endured a nightmare spell at the Emirates Stadium.
Injury and poor form has led to just 23 appearances being made during a three-year period and he now finds himself with no future at the North Londoners.
According to L'Equipe, Wenger has opted against asking for a transfer fee for the 31-year-old in order to get the full-back off the wage bill.
Debuchy still has one more year remaining on his contract, but he will likely welcome an exit in order to gain first-team football ahead of next summer's World Cup.
As well as representing Arsenal, Debuchy spent a period on loan at Bordeaux at the start of 2016 where he made nine starts in Ligue 1.
