Mikel Arteta could have a major issue on his hands after Arsenal's technical director, Edu, appeared to heavily hint that Nicolas Pepe has no future at the club - on the same morning that the Ivorian winger made it clear that he is determined to salvage his Gunners career.
Pepe became the Londoners' club-record signing when he arrived in a £72million deal from Lille back in the summer of 2019. But the winger has failed to live up to expectations at the Emirates, where he has bagged just 27 goals in 112 appearances.
After becoming a peripheral figure at the end of last season, it was expected that Pepe would be moved on this summer. But very few potential suitors have emerged for the 27-year-old, who has featured during the Gunners' pre-season tour of the United States.
