|

Debuchy_3190838The Irons are interested in signing both Mathieu Debuchy and Gregory van der Wiel this summer, according to Get French Football.

Arsenal right-back Debuchy left the Gunners and was allowed to join  Bordeaux on loan in January, whilst PSG’s van der Wiel is out of contract with les Parisiens next month.

The Irons are have made it clear via ClaretandHugh several times that a right back – along with a striker – are the major priorities for the season.

And according to Get French Football Slaven Bilic has the two players very much on his target list.

Wages may be a problem and both players will need to moderate their demands if a deal is to happen.
