Arsenal could sell Nicolas Pepe in the summer of 2022, according to Goal.

Goal have reported today that Arsenal could look to find the winger a new home at the end of the season.

Nicolas Pepe exit for Arsenal?

In our opinion, if Pepe leaves in the summer of 2022, then he would not be a big miss for Arsenal.

It could actually help the Gunners.

Now, Arsenal are not going to recoup the £72 million they paid for the Ivory Coast international.

However, whatever transfer fee Arsenal Technical Director Edu is about to get for Pepe could be reinvested in the squad.

He is a good winger who can score some outrageous goals, but the 26-year-old has simply failed to play well consistently.

The £140,000-a-week winger (Spotrac) is not even guaranteed a place in the manager Mikel Arteta’s starting lineup.

Bukayo Saka has pretty much taken the place of the winger in the team.

Pepe has made only five starts in the Premier League for Arsenal so far this season.

The Arsenal no. 19 made 16 starts in the Premier League last season.

In our view, leaving Arsenal for another club where he would be able to play regularly could actually help the winger.
