Arsenal keeper Leno: I hope Pepe has reached turning point

Arsenal goalkeeper Bernd Leno is full of praise for teammate Nicolas Pepe.

Leno insists he has the tools to deliver as he revealed he has impressed the squad with his left foot and ability in one-on-one situations.

"His left foot is unbelievable," Leno told football.london. "Also his one-against-one against defenders is unbelievable.

"When he has space, he can be a key player for us in transition. I think and I'm sure that we'll have a lot of fun with him."

He has backed Pepe to show his match-winning exploits at West Ham can be a turning point and kick-start his Arsenal career.

Leno added: "Is it a turning point? I hope so. It was a hard time for him.

"But I think that's normal when you come to the Premier League."
