The Gunners academy product was Arsene Wenger’s first-choice left-back between 2012 and 2015, but has since lost his place to Nacho Monreal.
And now The Sun claim the 26-year-old, who is contracted at the north London club until 2018, could look to leave in January if his situation doesn’t change.
“I think I deserved to play more after what I did last year, but now is a new stage,” he told Portuguese newspaper A Bola. “I feel good, happy, this is a new experience.”
That is according to French newspaper L’Equipe, who claim the France international’s new deal will include a £59million release clause.
The Gunners were linked with the 25-year-old striker all summer and are thought to have had a £29m bid rejected by Lyon.
