Edu explains why Nicolas Pepe could leave Arsenal this summer amid Cody Gakpo interest

It's no secret that several Arsenal players are available on the market if suitable offers come in this summer, and Nicolas Pepe is very likely to fall into that bracket.

football.london reported back in January that the 27-year-old was considering his options following a lack of game time, a situation that hasn't seen any changes since. The importance of Bukayo Saka and the bright displays from Gabriel Martinelli has seen Pepe start on the bench more often than not, or feature in the cup competitions.

Although there will certainly be more opportunities for him next season with the return of European football and the introduction of five substitutions, Mikel Arteta still runs the risk of having an unhappy and disgruntled player in his squad, because the chances of Pepe starting most weeks remain low.
