Nice loanee Nicolas Pepe insists he has no regrets moving to Arsenal.

Arsenal opted to send the 27-year-old to Nice on loan this summer, but Pepe has spoken fondly about his underwhelming spell.

He told RMC Sport: “My time in England allowed me to evolve. I got older, I had children so I matured a lot. I have had some very good experiences as well as some less good ones.

"It forged my mind and it serves me today!"

Pepe has scored six times in Ligue 1 - more than any other Nice player - as he continues to enjoy regular minutes.
