Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta has hinted that he could look to replace Nicolas Pepe with the winger having sealed an exit from the Emirates Stadium.
The Ivorian winger was confirmed to have joined Ligue 1 outfit Nice earlier this week on a season-long loan spell in a move that brings to an end a stuttering spell in north London. Having arrived at the Emirates Stadium for a club-record £72m back in 2019, he has seen his game time dwindle since his debut season and will now look to reignite his career back in France.
Ahead of his side’s Premier League showdown with Fulham at the weekend, Arteta has hinted that Pepe’s exit could potentially lead the Gunners dipping into the transfer market once more to bolster their wide options.
