Arsenal are struggling to find a new club for winger Nicolas Pepe. This is with deadline day quickly approaching.
Journalist Michael Bridge has provided more details on the future of Pepe via Give Me Sport.
Time is running out for Arsenal. This is inorder to shift some of the players who are surplus to requirements from their squad.
Arsenal have done some brilliant work with their signings this summer. But have always struggled to sell players for decent fees everytime.
Nicolas Pepe leaving Arsenal could benefit both the parties
Journalist Bridge says:-
“Because it was such an expensive deal, I do wonder how much it would cost Arsenal to terminate his contract.
“They’re doing everything in their power to get him a move. There has been interest from Turkey and a bit of interest from Spain.
“I think offloading Pepe and, obviously, Rob Holding will be Arsenal’s priority in the final few days. They are on the market but, at the moment, they’re struggling to find a new home.”
His move to Arsenal simply hasn’t worked out. And soon as it was clear that he wasn’t part of Mikel Arteta’s plans. This is as a permanent solution should have been found.
However, it’s understandable why other clubs don’t want to take on his wages. This is when he hasn’t played particularly well either at Arsenal or on loan.
Arsenal might be hoping a Saudi club comes in for Pepe. That is if they can’t find a suitor in the next days. Given their transfer window closes later this summer.
Convincing the player to move to the Saudi Pro League could be tricky if that’s not a transfer he’s interested in.
