Mathieu Debuchy fuels speculation he is heading to Arsenal from Newcastle by favouriting tweet

Mathieu Debuchy looks destined for Arsenal after the Newcastle United right-back favourited a tweet saying that he will be hopefully unveiled as a Gunner soon.

The France star also removed any mention of Newcastle from his Twitter bio as he moves closer to the exit door at St James' Park.

Speculation has surrounded Debuchy's future since the end of last season when he seemed to signal his farewell to Toon supporters by staying longer than his team-mates to clap the fans after their last-day defeat to Liverpool at Anfield.

Question marks: Debuchy's future on Tyneside has been in doubt since the end of the season

Goner? Debuchy favourited a tweet which said '@Arsenal @MatDebuchy hopefully soon to be unveiled'

Ready for business: Newcastle have been made aware of Arsenal's interest in the full-back

And the 28-year-old seems certain to leave after he favourited a tweet that read: '@Arsenal @MatDebuchy hopefully soon to be unveiled.'

He also removed the mention of 'NUFC' that was previously on his Twitter bio.

Arsenal are believed to be pressing ahead with an £11million move for Debuchy following the departure of Bacary Sagna to Manchester City on a free transfer this summer.

Debuchy, currently with France at the World Cup in Brazil, is emerging as the leading candidate to replace his countryman in the Gunners back-four next season and a deal is believed to be close.

However, a deal is unlikely to be concluded until after France's World Cup participation is over.

Les Bleus face Germany in the quarter-finals on Friday at the Maracana Stadium in Rio de Janeiro.

Iker Casillas 'contacted' by Arsene Wenger as Arsenal attempt to lure goalkeeper away from the Bernabeu

Arsene Wenger has attempted to lure Iker Casillas away from Real Madrid as the Arsenal boss looks for a new No 1 at the Emirates.
According to reports in Spanish newspaper Mundo Deportivo, Wenger has called the goalkeeper to convince him to join Arsenal.
Casillas fell behind Diego Lopez as Real Madrid's man between the sticks in La Liga last season, but was still Carlo Ancelotti's first choice in their Champions League-winning run.

Overseas: Casillas (right) could join Juan Mata (left) and David De Gea (centre) in the Premier League

Down and out: Casillas (left) arrives back in Madrid after Spain's dismal departure from the World Cup

The Spanish press are claiming the Premier League is Casillas' favoured destination, and after a disappointing World Cup campaign with the national side, the 33-year-old may be looking for a fresh start.

Wenger is on the lookout for a new keeper with Wojciech Szczesny the only first-team stopper at the club after the departure of Lukasz Fabianski to Swansea.
Cardiff goalkeeper David Marshall, Colombian international David Ospina and Mexican Guillermo Ochoa have all been linked with the No 1 spot at Arsenal this summer.
Casillas has 156 caps for Spain, and has played 678 games for Real Madrid in his 15-year stint at the Bernabeu.

Get suited and booted with Sam's blue two-piece

She may have left the TOWIE limelight to focus on her relationship with Joey Essex, but Sam Faiers certainly isn’t showing any signs of feeling blue about it.
The smiley-faced former reality star showcased her fabulous figure in a suave blue pastel hued suit designed by her Essex pal Lauren Pope for Inthestyle.co.uk. TOWIE gals stick together!
Sam eschewed the androgynous look by opting for a belly-baring crop top and vertiginous nude stilettos with a bright orange clutch, and we have to say that it rather suits her.
Separates have been a prevalent trend for SS14, with celebrities including Cara Delevingne and Rihanna following suit as well as fashion designers Marc Jacobs and Paul Smith with light-textured satiny jacket and trouser two-pieces swarming throughout their collections.
And lucky for you, Sam’s suit is available to buy online from Lauren Pope’s collection for under £70, whilst we’ve picked some ace alternatives from the high street. Our favourite would have to be Topshop’s window pane check oversized two-piece for £105. It’s the print of the summer!

Show off your pins in a Topshop playsuit

Kelly Brook has definitely been embracing the dressed down California surf chick look of late (we can't even remember the last time we saw her out on the town in one of her classic hourglass dresses) and it looks like the prospect of marriage is suiting her as she stepped out looking glowing for a bike ride with her fiancé David.
You can't have California chic without a denim playsuit and Kelly certainly took it to the extreme when she wore this tiny Topshop number which showed off her extremely toned legs.
Great for the weekend or to slip over a bikini on the beach, denim playsuits along with dungarees are a huge trend for Summer and super comfy too!

Show off your wild side like Nicole in zebra print

You can never accuse Nicole Scherzinger of being the shy retiring type. Even when it comes to her performing, she's the ONLY one you look at on stage. And here, in this garish dress from Celeb Boutique, Nicole once again makes a statement.
We have to say, and we usually absolutely love everything this gorgeous lady wears, that this dress isn't really doing it for us. Yes, her body looks incredible in it (Celeb Boutique are masters at the bandage, bodycon dresses), and yes it's a good shape on Nicole, but we just don't like the mix of zebra, pink, gold and leopard print panels.
If, maybe, this was just zebra on the top and pink on the bottom with a black band around the middle, we'd much prefer it. But it isn't. And we don't.
However, that chunky gold necklace is pure ghetto-gold fabulous, and her chunky heel black sandals are a great choice!
You can buy Nicole's dress on the right, or take a look at some other options we've found below.

Standout on the beach in a statement bikini like Alex

Alex Gerrard definitely has the best bikini collection of all the WAGs. That, and the best tan at the moment... look at that colour! And complimenting her sun-kissed skin is this amazing beaded bikini by ViX.
She has worn the label before, more than once, and will continue to if they keep producing amazing pieces like this one!
With its blue tribal/Aztec print and contrasting embroidered beads and studs, this bikini is truly an amazing pool-side option. Ordinarily we would shy away from any swimwear that incorporated studs or any embellishment - just imagine when it gets boiling hot - but this one is super gorgeous.
And if you notice, the bottoms are rather special too. They have the ViX signature strap detailing, the little leather sides.
This bikini is actually sold out everywhere but the actual ViX website. The only problem is they don't ship internationally unfortunately! Here are some other options though...

Joel Campbell: I’ll think about Arsenal after the World Cup

The 21-year-old striker produced an incredible display, scoring one and setting up another in his side's shock win over Uruguay Joel Campbell has insisted that isn't considering his Arsenal future at the moment but will remain concentrated on Costa Rica's World Cup campaign.

The striker, who turns 22 later this month, came to the forefront as his side shocked Uruguay 3-1 in their World Cup opener, but after spending the last three seasons on loan away from the Emirates club his place in their side is debatable.

"Of course I have to go back, because I have a contract with Arsenal, but the most important thing just now is my country and the World Cup," he explained, having scored an equaliser for his side early in the second half before setting up their third.

Despite a fine individual display, he was eager to praise his team-mates’ contributions: "Today was excellent for me, but it would have come to nothing without the contribution of my colleagues. Everyone lived up to their responsibilities. I tried to do my best to score goals and my colleague supported me.

"We have to take one step after another. We have difficult matches ahead, but this will give us impotence."

Costa Rica face Italy next in Group D before facing England as they seek to qualify for the last 16 for just a second time.

Mario Balotelli heads Italy to victory as Hogson's boys were condemed to victory in opening game at on-going Brazil 2014 world cup

Italy made the perfect start to their World Cup campaign, accounting for Group D rivals England 2-1 in Manaus on Saturday.
Labelled as the 'rumble in jungle' heading into the match, Italy continued their domination over England thanks to goals from Claudio Marchisio and Mario Balotelli at the Arena Amazonia.
Daniel Sturridge had England on level terms at half-time, after cancelling out Marchisio's 35th-minute opener within two minutes.
But Balotelli repaid the faith shown in him by coach Cesare Prandelli, popping up to head home the winner five minutes after the break as England were left with just two wins in their past 12 international meetings against Italy.
Italy are back in action against Costa Rica on Friday, while England face Uruguay a day earlier.
England manager Roy Hodgson made just one change from the team that stuttered to a goalless draw against Honduras in their final warm-up match, with Raheem Sterling free from suspension to replace Adam Lallana in midfield.
It was a different story for Italy, who were forced into two changes.
Captain Gianluigi Buffon failed to overcome an ankle strain and was replaced by Salvatore Sirigu in goal, while full-back Mattia De Sciglio also dropped out through injury and Matteo Darmian took his place in the starting eleven.
Up front, Prandelli decided to stick with wayward striker Balotelli, despite Ciro Immobile's hat-trick display against Brazilian club Fluminense midweek.
Much had been said about the weather in Manaus leading into the match but conditions did not affect the early exchanges as both teams pressed forward.
Although, as far as chances were concerned inside the opening 20 minutes, both sides were limited to long-range efforts, with Sterling, Jordan Henderson and Antonio Candreva trying their luck from distance.
England did come close to breaking the deadlock in the 23rd minute, albeit fortuitously, when Danny Welbeck's low pass across the penalty area deflected off Andrea Barzagli and just narrowly wide of the far post with Sturridge lurking.
However, it was Italy who opened the scoring courtesy of Marchisio 11 minutes before the half-time interval after a well-executed short corner.
Candreva passed to Andrea Pirlo on the edge of the box and the veteran midfielder let the ball run through to Marchisio, who fired a low shot past goalkeeper Joe Hart from 25 yards.
The Italian's lead was short-lived as their lack of pace in defence was exposed two minutes later.
After a swift counter-attacking move, Wayne Rooney was freed on the left and delivered an inch-perfect cross for Sturridge to convert on the half volley.
England and Italy went into the break on level terms but it took the four-time world champions just five minutes of the second half to restore their lead, this time thanks to Balotelli.
Candreva was in the thick of the action again, beating Leighton Baines to pick out Balotelli at the back post and the Milan striker leapt highest to nod home his first international goal since October last year.
Rooney had a great chance to restore parity and net his first World Cup goal, however, he fluffed his lines inside the penalty area on the hour-mark.
Hodgson introduced midfield trio Ross Barkley, Jack Wilshere and Adam Lallana in search of an equaliser but it was Italy that came closest to a late goal with Pirlo hitting the crossbar with a free-kick in stoppage time, as they emerged triumphant in just their second World Cup clash against England.

Get jaws dropping in Jourdan's tight yellow dress

Sticking to her tiny frame, the rope textured vivacious yellow bandage dress from the French fashion house accentuated her slimline catwalk physique whilst emphasising an hour-glass silhouette.

Look fashion-forward in Helen's floppy Topshop hat

She might have completed her daytime outfit with a wide-brimmed hat, but Helen Flanagan’s daytime style was anything but a flop.
The former Corrie actress looked right up our street in a sophisticated ensemble of skinny jeans, a plain black top and white blazer adorned with creative accessories including a green scarf and Burberry strappy sandals.
But it was Helen’s cream floppy hat from Topshop that drew our eye to her pretty face with its flattering design, detailed with a skinny black ribbon.
And we’re giving Helen extra style points for wearing her long brunette tresses in loose waves for an added bohemian touch. We’d wear ours with a long printed maxi and strappy wedges for a relaxed walk on the beach.
Floppy wide-brimmed hats are a key accessory staple and we’re just in love with Topshop’s array of headwear as Helen is, with this version coming in a few different shades at a very affordable £28.
Missguided's all-white oversized floppy alternative is also a fabulous steal at £12.99, promising to make you look more like a Hollywood star than a soapstar.
