Arsenal winger Nicolas Pepe will assess his options in January if his playing time doesn't improve.

The Ivorian winger was once again on the substitutes bench as Arsenal lost 2-1 to Everton at Goodison Park.

Pepe, the club's record signing, was snubbed by manager Mikel Arteta, who instead opted to introduce striker Eddie Nketiah as a left-winger.

Having fallen out of favour with Arteta, Pepe is open to leaving the club if his situation doesn't change.

A loan deal is the most likely scenario for Pepe, according to football.london.

However, the 26-year-old's salary could be a stumbling block for any potential move.

Arsenal paid £72.5m to sign Pepe from Lille in 2019.
