Pepe holding up Arsenal move for another winger before window shuts

Arsenal are looking to add a winger to their squad, reports have claimed.

The Gunners have already spent £150m on five players as they look to secure a top-four this season.

Respected transfer expert David Ornstein, from The Athletic, has said the club still want to sign a winger this summer.

PSV star Cody Gakpo and Bayer Leverkusen star Moussa Diaby have been linked with a move to the Emirates.

But first the club may need to sell Ivory Coast winger Nicolas Pepe.

Speaking to NBC, Ornstein said: "They [Arsenal] want to do more business, I think they want to add a winger to what they've got, and if they manage to get somebody in, I think they'll be pretty happy.

"Everyone will be asking, 'Who is that winger?' Well, we know they went in for Raphinha. I don't know who they're going to go [for] if they do bring in a new winger. It could depend on Pepe leaving the club."
