Ex-Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has suggested that Nicolas Pepe has to improve his work 'off the ball' if he wants to improve on his slow start in north London, while also suggesting that the Ivorian 'needs time' to adapt.
Pepe joined the Gunners for a club-record £72m fee from Lille after his 35 goal contributions for the French side last season. However, he's started life slow at the Emirates, netting just once - a penalty and registering just two assists in the Premier League thus far.
The winger started life brightly, putting in decent, but not productive displays against Liverpool and Spurs in back-to-back games.
