Arsenal’s owner, Stan Kroenke, asserts that the team is no longer a shelter for slothful players.
Declan Rice, who set a new club record, as well as Kai Havertz, Jurrien Timber, and David Raya were all added to Arsenal during the successful transfer window.
All of the recruits seem to be intelligent, responsible additions who were mostly brought in to bolster the Gunners squad at various positions.
After scoring the vital second goal against Man United at the weekend, Rice has adapted brilliantly to his new life in north London.
One former record signing, however, never actually did it.
Although Nicolas Pepe, who cost £72 million, had long been thought of being an Arsenal starter, the Frenchman actually spent the whole 2017–18 season on loan at Nice.
Given that he has no future at the Emirates Stadium and that the club’s resources are being drained by his estimated £140,000 weekly wage (per Capology), it is definitely necessary to get rid of him as soon as possible.
Fortunately, Besiktas of the Turkish Super Lig may be able to help, according to 90Min.
Turkish transfer window is still open, therefore there is still time to finish a trade.
The source claims that Pepe has admitted that a transfer would be advantageous for all parties in the short term and that his future lay outside of the team.
