Nicolas Pepe makes his Arsenal intentions perfectly clear in honest message to fans

Nicolas Pepe has told fans that he's "determined" to turn his Arsenal career around after a tough pre-season.

The 27-year-old winger found himself playing second fiddle to the likes of Bukayo Saka last season - and has now had his opportunities further limited by the arrival of fellow forwards Gabriel Jesus and Marquinhos. Firmly down the pecking order under Mikel Arteta, Pepe hopes that the new campaign - which will be his fourth at the Emirates - can represent a fresh start, having been linked with a move away.

As the Gunners squad headed home following a successful pre-season tour of the United States in which they won all three games, the out-of-favour Ivorian wrote on Instagram : "I worked hard during the summer. Change lot of things. I'm focus and determined with @arsenal and my teammates."
