Arsenal FLOP Nicolas Pepe looks set to join Nice on loan this summer after the Gunners' £72m club-record signing has fallen down the pecking order at the Emirates

Arsenal’s club-record signing Nicolas Pepe looks set to join French side Nice on loan.

The winger, 27, has struggled to make an impact at the Emirates since his £72million move from Lille in the summer of 2019.

Pepe made only five Premier League starts for the Gunners last season, netting just one goal in the top-flight.
