Arsenal are ready to terminate Nicolas Pepe 's contract if they can't offload the winger this summer.
The Ivorian remains the club's record signing following his £72m move from Lille in 2019, but has failed to deliver at the Emirates. Pepe's struggles saw him farmed out on loan to Ligue 1 outfit Nice last summer, but he was unable to rediscover his best form.
Mikel Arteta has no plans to bring Pepe back into the first-team picture at the Emirates with the player only having one year left on his deal. Arsenal are hopeful that buyers will come forward in the coming weeks, albeit they will have to take a hefty loss.
