Arsenal flop Nicolas Pepe joins Turkish outfit Trabzonspor

The winger's £72 million transfer from Lille made him the most expensive player for the Gunners in 2019.

However, he only scored 27 goals in 112 Arsenal games and he struggled to fit in at the Emirates.

The Ivorian has been linked to several clubs including clubs in Saudi Arabia but has decided to join Trabzonspor.

Pepe lost the manager Mikel Arteta's favour, but the team had trouble offloading him, however, he will be joining Trabzonspor on a free transfer.

According to reports from the Sun, It is believed that the player's £150,000 per week contract, which had one year remaining, was terminated by the Gunners, in order to reduce their losses on the player.

Pepe has now decided to join Trabzonspor in Turkey and has posted some photos in a Trabzonspor kit while on a private plane.

According to SunSport, Arsenal informed the attacker that even if he was unable to find a new club, he would not play for them again.

Pepe returned after an unsatisfactory loan stint at Nice and was told to train all by himself, with his squad number 19 handed to Leandro Trossard at the beginning of the year.

Meanwhile, Pepe was left off the Ivory Coast roster for their upcoming matches against Lesotho and Mali due to his inactivity.
