“I could have been important for Arsenal” says exiled winger
Last summer, Nicolas Pepe joined French Ligue 1 team Nice on a loan deal, where he became a teammate of Kasper Schmeichel. While his contract runs until the summer, the Ivorian international is still unclear about what lies ahead.
“I am very happy at Nice There are two important months to come for this club. I want to concentrate on that and I’m not sure after that. There will be discussions,” Pepe stated, as reported by Get French Football News.
Additionally, Pepe shared his disappointment with Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta’s decision-making.
“I don’t know what Arsenal want. I still have a lot of friends there. I could have been important for the club, but those are the coach’s choices,” Pepe said.
During this season, the attacking player has participated in 17 games for Nice in the French Ligue 1, contributing six goals with one assist.
