The curious case of Nicolas Pepe, who went from Arsenal's record-signing to arguably the biggest transfer flop in Premier League history
in May 2022. "[Wilfried] Zaha won games on his own. I told them: ‘This is the player I know and want.’ I met Zaha and he wanted to come. The club decided Pepe was one for the future. I said: ‘Yes, but we need to win now and this lad wins games.’ He beat us on his own."Arsenal wouldn't have had to pay anywhere near the £72 million they spent on Pepe to sign Zaha from Crystal Palace at the time, and he was ready for the step up.
Pepe's four-year stay in north London ended last week as the Gunners agreed to terminate his contract a year early. They'd given up on the 28-year-old long ago, with Mikel Arteta having also failed to to polish the rough diamond that lit up Ligue 1 with Lille.
