Nicolas Pepe has cast doubt over his future at Arsenal after attributing his 'tough season' to a language barrier with Mikel Arteta. The 26-year-old, who is yet to have made a start for the Gunners since the turn of the new year, detailed the struggles that he has faced at the Emirates.
Edu's £72m signing has featured 15 times in the Premier League this season, averaging a measly 39.6 minutes a game. The form of Bukayo Saka, Gabriel Martinelli and Emile Smith Rowe has greatly hampered Pepe's opportunities under Arteta, residing him to the bench.
Football.london understood in December that Pepe was frustrated with his current situation at Arsenal and wanted to assess his options in January if his game time didn't improve. The Ivorian, who marked his latest international cap with an impressive goal against France, stayed put and buried speculation that tied him to an exit.
