Nicolas Pepe is a pretty good character in the dressing room, all things told, and while things haven’t worked out on the pitch for the Ivorian under Arteta, he certainly hasn’t been a disruptive influence off it.

Pepe endured a pretty indifferent US tour but he’s still “determined” to overturn his underwhelming Arsenal career.

“I worked hard during the summer. Change lot of things. I’m focus and determined with Arsenal and my teammates,” he captioned his most recent Instagram post.

The Ivorian certainly has the potential to provide competition for Bukayo Saka down the right flank, but rarely does he apply himself to the requisite standard. Arteta was hesitant to use him last season, and the club will certainly let him go if the right offer comes in before the end of the window.

The Gunners want to sign a high-level wide player to usurp Pepe.
