Arsenal may have been handed a potential problem in sealing a transfer exit for winger Nicolas Pepe this summer, according to reports. The Ivory Coast international has struggled since making the £72million switch to the Emirates.
Despite the huge transfer fee, the 27-year-old only managed 20 Premier League appearances last season. The majority of those came from the bench, with only one goal and two assists in 681 minutes of action.
Discussing a summer move back in April, the forward said: “It is happening at international level and a bit less so at club level. It is frustrating not to play. No player enjoys not playing but I have to respect the coach’s decision.
