The possibility of Pepe leaving Arsenal has been discussed for the last couple of summers, and to be fair it should have happened a year ago, but his exorbitant wages and transfer fee have made it very difficult to find a buyer.
But now it seems that a deal with Nice in Ligue 1 is as good as done now, as Fabrizio Romano has revealed that the Ivorian winger will be having a medical in France today.
Nicolas Pépé has reduced his salary in order to make Nice move possible. French club will cover main part of his wages, green light arrived and documents ready with Arsenal. 🚨🔴 #AFC
Medical tests will take place in the next 24h, on Thursday. pic.twitter.com/5qhREvKbeR

I would think the 27 year-old will be desparate to get some regular playing time, sonsidering he was considered one of the stars of Ligue 1 just a few seasons ago, and he simply needs to get his career back on track, so it is no wonder he has agreed to take a cut in wages to escape from the Emirates…
But more importantly for the Gunners, this will hopefully mean that Arsenal can now find a replacement to act as a backup for Saka, who doesn’t seem to have quite got into his stride yet this season.
The transfer window is far from over….

Wilfred Zaha here you come
We are waiting for your arrival to make us look more stronger 💪💯🙌
Prince Do you seriously expect us to spend around £25 on a soon to be 30 year old? I say it will NOT happen , not in a million years. Those days of buying ageing playes with NO resale value and on high wages are fIrmly in the past. Surprised you have not noticed TBH!
Good luck to him, seems like a nice bloke and has a lot of natural talent just never worked out for both club and player…
Crazy the amount of money being spent atm by so many clubs of all sizes. I think we could do a lot damage (point wise)before these Teams bed in with their players.
At LAST ! Yet another completly ineffective player gone. Hurray!
CALAMITOUS PURCHASE THOUGH AND DOWN TO YOU, MR club damaging Sanllehi! Glad you are gone too!
Great news to arsenal and pepe. I wish him the best of luck wherever he goes.
I hope arsenal finds a good back up for saka.
Hmmmm, good opportunity to get Wilfred zaha as soon as possible,he still has 3season with vast premier league experience to do with arsenal plus his blazing form now we need him
I think Leroy Sane will be a good replacement for Pepe. Let’s just go for him please 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
@Stephen Nestor. Would Sane sit on the bench for Saka?
Alan Saint-Maximin from Newcastle please!!! 25 year French winger.
I hope so and on top of that we need NETO as back up for PEPE all the best for him
