'He will improve, he will get better': Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta says struggling Nicolas Pepe is working hard to become more unpredictable

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta admits Nicolas Pepe can be too predictable at times but insists the forward is working hard to remedy this.

Pepe has not made the impact Gunners fans had hoped he would when he became the club's record signing in the summer, contributing just four goals and six assists so far this term.

The 24-year-old has spent the majority of the season on the right wing, where he usually tends to try and cut in onto his left foot.
