Nicolas Pepe may have dropped a hint that he will be staying at Arsenal this summer.
The Gunners have been extremely active during the first six weeks of the transfer window, splashing in excess of £110 million on five first-team players. Proven Premier League stars Oleksandr Zinchenko and Gabriel Jesus have joined from Manchester City. Experienced American goalkeeper Matt Turner, young winger Marquinhos and highly-rated midfielder Fabio Vieira have also arrived at the Emirates Stadium in recent weeks.
Still, manager Mikel Arteta has emphasised the need to offload a number of fringe players before thinking about adding additional signings to the squad. When asked if there was more business to be done during the remainder of the window, Arteta replied: "I don't know, it's what we have today, and as well we have a large squad, so we have to make some decisions on the players that we're not going to be using consistently and be fair and straight with them, and that's a process that's going to start very soon, as well."
