Arteta to replace Pepe at Arsenal

Arteta Pepe Arsenal

Arsenal manager, Mikel Arteta, has said the club could find a replacement for Nicolas Pepe.

This was after the Ivory Coast winger left the Premier League leaders to join Nice, increasing Arsenal’s chances of going into the transfer market before the September 1 deadline.

Arsenal has been linked with a move for Wolves winger Pedro Neto

“We have done it in a different way. At the start of the window we signed players before getting other players out,” Arteta told reporters.

“Now we have done something different, we have let a player go and maybe we’ll be able to recruit somebody.

“But it’s not a guarantee because the players are still not here. What I guarantee is the day the window closes, for me this is the best team in the world and I will try to get the best out of them, that’s it.”

Arsenal are the only club to boast a perfect start to the Premier League season with three successive wins.

They host Fulham on Saturday looking to consolidate their surprise position at the top of the table.

Arteta, however, had praises for Pepe who scored 27 goals in 111 appearances in all competitions for Arsenal.

“I think Nico has tried to deal with that in the best possible way, he is not responsible for the price a club pays for him,” Arteta said.

“He has tried everything, his attitude is just phenomenal. You just have to meet the person because you just love him for the way he is.

“It’s been three years and he had some very good moments, some others where he hasn’t really contributed much in terms of minutes.

“We decided for every party it was the best decision to allow him to go. He needs to play minutes, he needs to play football. He was really adamant to do that and we decided that it would be best for everybody to do it.”
