A number of impressed Arsenal fans have taken to Twitter to react after a GIF of Nicolas Pepe emerged from last night’s win over Southampton.
The footage in question shows the £72 million man gliding through a number of Southampton players with ease.
Impressively, the 24-cap Ivory Coast international nutmegs Che Adams, before shrugging Stuart Armstrong off the ball.
Then, Arsenal’s No.19 waltzes past James Ward-Prowse and Jan Bednarek, before the GIF comes to an end.
Watching the breathtaking dribble live, nothing came of it, which is what Pepe needs to work on.
Evidently, the former Lille attacker has all the ability in the world when it comes to taking players on and beating them.
However, the next part of his game that needs developing is his end product.
Even in the GIF, some space emerges in behind for Alexandre Lacazette, which Pepe could’ve exploited by curling a through ball into that gap.
Hopefully, with the Gunners now in a bit of form, the Ivorian can feel slightly more level-headed and calm out on the pitch when these moments arrive in games.
Nevertheless, if you’re a fan of exciting players who make others look foolish, then you’ll love casting your eyes over this GIF.
Let’s see what the Arsenal fans on Twitter have been saying about the footage…
