Arsenal make surprising decision on the future of record signing Nicolas Pepe

Nicolas Pepe joined Arsenal a few years ago and the gunners have made a decision on his future after his return from loan.

Arsenal Football Club is reportedly seeking buyers for Nicolas Pepe, a 28-year-old Ivorian winger who was loaned to French Ligue One side Nice for the 2021/22 season. Pepe was only able to score six goals during his time with Nice, and it seems that Arsenal has no plans to reintegrate him into their first-team squad.

According to The Telegraph, Arsenal is hoping that potential buyers will come forward in the next few weeks. However, it appears that Nice is not expected to pursue a permanent move for Pepe.

Pepe joined Arsenal from Lille in 2019 for a club-record fee of £72 million. He had a promising start with the Gunners, scoring eight goals and providing ten assists in his debut season. However, he struggled to replicate that form in his second season and was subsequently loaned out to Nice.

 

It remains unclear which clubs might be interested in signing Pepe this summer. However, given his previous success at Lille and his potential as a winger, there may be some suitors willing to take a chance on him.

For Arsenal fans, this news may come as a disappointment as they had hoped that Pepe would return from his loan spell rejuvenated and ready to contribute to the team’s success. However, it seems that the club has made its decision and is now looking towards the future.

As the transfer window heats up, it will be interesting to see which clubs make a move for Pepe and how much they are willing to pay for his services. For now, Arsenal fans will have to wait and see what the future holds for their talented but inconsistent winger.
