Arsenal are in talks to sign Barcelona
forward Alexis Sanchez and Newcastle
right-back Mathieu Debuchy.
Their move for 28-year-old France
international Debuchy is at an advanced
stage but the clubs are yet to agree a fee,
with Newcastle understood to be seeking a
figure in the region of £10m.
The Gunners' bid for Sanchez is complicated
by Barcelona's pursuit of Liverpool striker
Luis Suarez.
Barca are reportedly seeking a fee of at least
£25m for the Chile striker.

And although the Gunners have been given
indications that Sanchez would favour a
move to Emirates Stadium, nothing will be
resolved until the Suarez situation is
concluded.
Meanwhile Juventus are also thought to be
keen on the former Udinese player.
Debuchy would replace Bacary Sagna, who
left Arsenal to join Manchester City.
Should the proposed £10m transfer go
through it would double the Magpies' money
on a player who joined from Lille for £5m in
January 2013.
Arsenal are also in the market for a holding
midfielder and back-up goalkeeper.
