Arsenal have been one of the busiest teams during this summer's transfer window.
The north London outfit have splashed over £110 million to bring in five first-team players in the form of Matt Turner, Fabio Vieira, Marquinhos, Gabriel Jesus and Oleksandr Zinchenko. Technical director Edu has also been keen to offload several fringe players, with the likes of Lucas Torreira, Bernd Leno and Pablo Mari all leaving in recent weeks.
However, there is still more clearing out to do and club-record signing Nicolas Pepe is closing in on a season-long loan move to Ligue 1 side OGC Nice, football.london understands. The move is now expected to progress quickly and football.london understands that it is likely to be completed within the next 48 hours.
