SNAPPED! Nicolas Pepe stars in first Arsenal training session

Nicolas Pepe trained with Arsenal for the first time on Friday.

Pepe replaced Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang as Arsenal's most-expensive purchase on Thursday as the club finally announced that they had signed the Ivorian winger from Lille in a deal that will eventually be worth £72million.

And with the north London side getting their Premier League campaign underway against Newcastle on August 11, Pepe has wasted little time getting to work.

The 22-year-old trained with the Gunners first-team at London Colney, dribbling past Lucas Torreira who also featured.
