The summer has been filled with speculation regarding Nicolas Pepe's future. Despite it looking certain he would leave; he remains an Arsenal player and has featured heavily throughout the preseason.
However, he was an unused substitute in Arsenal’s 4-2 victory over Leicester City and the week before as the Gunners won away at Crystal Palace. Eddie Nketiah and Emile Smith-Rowe have been preferred to give Mikel Arteta’s side fresh legs in the final third.
Pepe had posted on his social platforms about changes he'd made personally. Adding that he was focused on Arsenal and on the potential the forthcoming season had for him and his side.
