Arsenal winger Nicolas Pepe has become ‘increasingly frustrated’ at manager Mikel Arteta not playing him regularly, according to The Sun.
The report in the British tabloid has claimed that Arsenal are willing to sell Pepe in the summer transfer window and will accept £25 million for him.
The Ivory Coast international winger, who earns £140,000 per week as salary, is reportedly frustrated with manager Arteta not using him regularly.
Nicolas Pepe should leave Arsenal
In our opinion, it would be best for both Arsenal and Pepe if the winger leaves the Emirates Stadium in the summer transfer window.
It is clear that Arteta does not think that Pepe is good enough to play for the first team week in and week out.
After all, the 26-year-old has made only five starts in the Premier League this season.
Pepe made 16 starts in the league for Arsenal last season.
Now, of course, Arsenal are not going to get the £72 million transfer fee they paid to Lille for Pepe.
However, if the Gunners are able to get £25 million and can get Pepe’s huge wages off their books, then it would be business well done, especially if they finish in the top four of the Premier League table this season.
