'I'm focused and determined with Arsenal': Nicolas Pepe hints he is ready to fight for his place under Mikel Arteta... despite interest from Sevilla, Marseille, Lyon and Leeds in £72m flop

Arsenal flop Nicolas Pepe has hinted he wants to fight for his place at the club, insisting he is 'focused' and 'determined' to make his mark.

The Ivory Coast international remains the club's record signing after joining in a £72million deal from Lille in 2019, but he has struggled to make a regular impact in north London.

The 27-year-old scored just one goal and laid on a single assist in the five Premier League appearances he made last season, and confirmed he had changed agents in May amid speculation he was set for a move away.
