Arsenal forward Nicolas Pepe has claimed that Amazon should make an All or Nothing documentary about himself, as he told Amazon Prime. 

The 26-year-old stated that he has ‘stories to tell’ and ‘unusual ones’ at that because his journey in the footballing world hasn’t been straightforward 

Arsenal are actually currently taking part in an All or Nothing documentary series themselves, which is filming footage of their early struggles this season.

It’s all good being part of a documentary when it has a fairy-tale or happy ending, but Arsenal’s current doc is a nightmare for all involved.

This is what Pepe had to say when asked which one of his Arsenal teammates should be put forward for an All or Nothing doc.

“Well, myself,” said Pepe. “I have stories to tell, unusual ones.

“My journey was an unusual one, so I probably have an interesting story to tell.”

Born in the North of France, Pepe opted to represent Ivory Coast on the international stage.

But long before that, his journey began in France’s lower leagues with State Poitevin, where he fought his way up to the bright lights of French football.

Arsenal have a rich history of French players becoming legends in their colours, no more so than perhaps the greatest of them all, Theirry Henry. 

Whilst Henry is etched into Arsenal’s rich history, Pepe, at this moment in time, is their most expensive transfer capture.

The Gunners paid £72 million for his attacking talents in 2019 (BBC Sport), and whilst he ended the last campaign in a strong fashion, he is still trying to prove that the club-record fee was worth it.
