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.
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….
