Arsenal attacker Nicolas Pepe has jumped into the transfer speculation swirling around teammate Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.

Pepe is a long way from north London as he aims to inspire his Ivory Coast side to Africa Cup of Nations glory in Cameroon but club matters are never far away as the winger found out during some down-time at his team's hotel.

The £72m wide-man was pressed on whether Aubameyang will remain an Arsenal player beyond this transfer window amid speculation surrounding his future after he has been exiled from the first-team fold by manager Mikel Arteta.

A short video released on social media showed an Arsenal fan asking Pepe "Is Aubameyang leaving or his he staying?" which prompted an interesting response from the Ivorian.

he former Lille man replied "I don't know. I think he'll stay, but I don't know."
