Besiktas go for Arsenal flop Nicolas Pepe

Historic Arsenal flop Nicolas Pepe is being linked with a move to the Turkish league this summer.

The winger, who has been at the Gunners since 2019 when he arrived from Lille for a club-record £72 million, is out of favor.

He is not in the plans of manager Mikel Arteta, who wants to sell Pepe as soon as possible.

Per the Evening Standard, the Ivorian is now being linked to Besiktas, who believe they can get the best out of him.

Pepe was on loan in France last season, but did not impress enough to earn a permanent move anywhere.

His career has been on a downward trajectory ever since he signed for the Gunners under then boss Unai Emery.
