'I don’t know what Arsenal want... I could have been important for the club, but those are the coach’s choices.' AFC
Arsenal outcast insists he ‘could have been important’ for the Gunners but for Arteta’s ‘choices’Arsenal winger Nicolas Pepe has admitted he doesn’t know what Mikel Arteta will do with him once his season-long loan at Nice comes to an end.
He did play a key part in Arsenal’s FA Cup success in 2020 and was one of the club’s best players in 2020-21 when Arteta led them to a disappointing eighth-place finish in the Premier League. In 17 Ligue 1 appearances this term, Pepe has scored six and assisted one, and he recently made his return from a lengthy knee injury.
“I don’t even think the form of those players [Saka and Martinelli] is going to have an impact at all because I think Mikel Arteta has made it clear that he’s not in his plans,” Sheth told GiveMeSport.“This was a signing made by Unai Emery and Emery has since said he actually wanted to sign Wilfried Zaha, but the club decided that they were going to go for Nicolas Pepe — maybe because of his attributes and maybe because of his age as well.
