10 Things Arsenal Fans Need To Know About Mathieu Debuchy
2. He Has Tasted Success
In his last season at Lille (his 20th in fact) he lifted both the Ligue 1 and a French domestic cup. Players who win competitions are a rare commodity and often fetch extortionate transfer fees and wages, and it all comes down to the fact that they have something that their competition doesn't... a taste of success. Success really is a great motivator and ensures that the squad has within it the mental strength to win, something that was lacking when Birmingham beat Arsenal in the League Cup Final years ago. Debuchy has that quality and he will be fired up, along with the rest of the Arsenal squad who can smell the trophies that are on offer next year.
