Mikel Arteta, much like pretty much everyone associated with Arsenal, had high hopes for club-record signing Nicolas Pepe.
While the Ivorian international wasn't the Spaniard's signing - Pepe was purchased by Arteta's predecessor Unai Emery, the current Gunners boss did initially try to get the best of a player that cost the club a staggering £72million, but it simply hasn't worked.
Of course, for a player of Pepe's undeniable ability, there have been flashes of brilliance. Moments of skill that has left fans wondering where that kind of talent has been hiding for the best part of three years. Having lit up Ligue 1 with Lille, the wide-forward has come nowhere near to achieving a similar output in the Premier League.
