'They're scared of what he can do' - Pepe gives Arsenal fear factor, says Kanu

The Gunners' record signing averages 3.8 dribbles per game in England's top flight this season - higher than any other player

Nicolas Pepe already has Premier League defences running scared, according to Arsenal legend Nwankwo Kanu.

The Ivory Coast international arrived at the Emirates during the summer, signing from Ligue 1 side Lille in a club-record £72 million ($89m) deal.

And the 24-year-old winger has already proved to be a real handful in his early appearances for the Gunners, averaging 3.8 dribbles per game, more than any other attacker in the English top flight.
