Player ‘looking for new way out’ to leave Arsenal – Has two options to pick from

Four days ago, L’Equipe reported Al-Fateh and an unnamed Saudi Arabian club have both positioned themselves to sign Arsenal’s Nicolas Pépé.

The forward returned to the Emirates after spending last season on loan at OGC Nice and has been left out of Mikel Arteta’s plans this season.

Foot Mercato state the 28-year-old is now ‘looking for a new way out’ to leave Arsenal.

Beşiktaş have shown interest in the Ivory Coast international but the report states he has ruled out a move to Turkey and has other options to pick his next destination.

It’s claimed the player is attracting interest from clubs from Saudi and Germany, without providing any details of these teams.

These are the two options he has to leave the Gunners and Foot Mercato say there should be movements on the tracks leading to Saudi and Germany in the next few days.

A move to the Middle East would allow Arsenal to recoup a part of the reported £72m fee they invested to sign the attacker from Lille in 2019.

Pépé has scored 27 goals and registered 21 assists from 112 games for Arsenal.
