Nicolas Pepe Archives: 12/2019

Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal faced Bournemouth on Boxing Day and while he didn’t get the win his side’s performance deserved, there was a lot to be happy about.

Bukayo Saka won Arsenal a point with a goal and an assist against Standard Liege on Thursday, and he may have to step up now in the potential absence of Nicolas Pepe.

Nicolas Pepe suffered a sprained knee during the match between West Ham United and Arsenal, according to an injury report from France.

Arsenal have racked up a total of seven players unavailable for the trip to Standard Liege on Thursday thanks to injury or suspension.

Arsenal finally got a win on the board against West Ham on Monday, coming from behind in a 10-minute blitz at the London Stadium.

It was the team all Arsenal fans wanted, for a little while at least, so there was much excitement ahead of the game followed by a lot of sadness, some jubilation and a weird sense of disbelief that Arsenal actually managed to win a match.

Nicolas Pepe admits he’s had a ‘negative’ start to life with Arsenal, expecting more from himself, and it’s up to him to solve that.

Arsenal face West Ham United on Monday, looking for a win after nine consecutive games without one.

Freddie Ljungberg insists Nicolas Pepe is a very good player and an important one to Arsenal, and he just needs to adapt after his transfer from France.

I find it hard not to think of Theo Walcott when I watch Nicolas Pepe play, but probably not for the reasons you’re thinking.
