Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta praised Nicolas Pepe ahead of his team's 2-1 victory against Brentford on Saturday afternoon.
The Ivory Coast international, 26, came off the bench to help the Gunners pick up all three points at the Emirates and move to within a point of Manchester United in fourth.
Pepe's Arsenal career appeared over in January, as reports suggested Arteta was willing to sell the £72million signing for just £25m.
