In a stunning turn of events, Arsenal’s prodigious forward, Nicolas Pepe, is rumored to be making his exit from the hallowed grounds of the Emirate Stadium this summer.
Reports from France have surfaced, indicating that an undisclosed club in Saudi Arabia has expressed a keen interest in securing the services of the Ivory Coast international.
Adding credence to the speculation, esteemed journalist Fabrice Hawkins of RMC Sport has revealed that negotiations are currently underway between the Gunners and the said club, in pursuit of a desirable transfer fee for the talented winger.
The 26-year-old football virtuoso made his grand arrival at the esteemed north London club in 2019, in a groundbreaking £72million deal from Lille.
With just one year remaining on his contract, it appears as though the stars are aligning for Pepe’s departure.
The catalyst for this potential move stems from Mikel Arteta’s side, who are eager to part ways with the player after his loan spell with Nice last season.
Interestingly, Pepe had previously rejected an opportunity to join Besiktas, indicating that a higher calling may be on the horizon.
