Nicolas Pepe faces an increasingly uncertain future at Arsenal, with the Gunners reportedly set to permit the winger's departure this summer. The 27-year-old has been heavily linked with an exit from the Emirates Stadium recently after having fallen out of favour under Mikel Arteta.
Pepe featured 20 times for the Gunners in the Premier League last season, directly contributing towards three goals amid diminutive first-team opportunities. And, as a result, in December, football.london understood that the Ivorian international was frustrated with his situation at Arsenal and wanted to assess his options in January if his game time didn't improve.
But, a departure from north London failed to materialise. With all parties seemingly in agreement regarding his future, the Gunners are now openly seeking potential suitors for Pepe, according to the Press Association. The winger, who swapped the Stade Pierre-Mauroy for the Emirates Stadium in 2019 for a record-breaking £72million fee, is most likely to be dealt a loan move, given his value and wages.
