Arsenal have been told to bite the bullet and get rid of Nicolas Pepe this summer by former striker Alan Smith.
Pepe, 27, was signed for a fee close to £72m in the summer of 2019 by Unai Emery and then-head of football Raul Sanllehi but has struggled to live anywhere close to that price tag during his three years at the club.
Speaking to the Express, Smith said clubs were finding it hard to offload unwanted stars on big contracts and as such his former team were likely going to have to take a financial hit on the player.
