Arsenal warned they may be 'stuck' with £72m star after making huge transfer mistake

Paul Merson isn't convinced that Nicolas Pepe will ever amount to anything at Arsenal and has warned that the Gunners might struggle to sell him in the future.

Pepe, who cost the Gunners a club record £72million just under three years ago, has struggled for game time of late and despite showing glimpses of his quality, the Ivorian has continuously been linked with a move away from the Emirates.

football.london understood that the player was prepared to assess his options if his situation continued to diminish in January. He's responded well since returning from the Africa Cup of Nations, however, and recently inspired Arsenal to a late comeback against Wolves by scoring once and adding an assist in the Gunners' 2-1 win.
