Arsenal player ready to leave the club after poor a performance, claimed by Mikel Arteta
Arsenal player ready to leave the club after a poor performance, claimed by Mikel Arteta… Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta is reportedly ready to let Nicolas Pepe leave the club after his poor form this season.
The Gunners spent at least £72million to sign Nicolas Pepe from Lille in the year 2019, following the Ivory Coast international’s dazzling form in Ligue 1.
However, Pepe has not been able to replicate that form at the Emirates Stadium, and it seems Arteta has now lost patience with the player, according to Todo Fichajes.
Their report now states that Arteta has given Arsenal the green light to allow Pepe to complete a transfer away from north London this January for a reduced fee of just £30m.
The 26-year-old could end up being a real bargain for £30m if he can get back to his best, but it’s not surprising that teams might not be willing to take a gamble on him at the moment.
Arsenal fans will no doubt be disappointed that it’s come to this with their record signing, who looked so promising when he first joined the club.
