Mikel Arteta has told Nicolas Pepe that his Arsenal fate is completely in his own hands after his red card against Leeds.
Pepe is set for an immediate chance to redeem himself in Arsenal’s Europa League tie at Molde on Thursday following his needless dismissal for headbutting Leeds midfielder Ezgjan Alioski.
Arteta hit out at Pepe following the game, saying his actions were ‘unacceptable’ and that he had ‘let his team down.’
But he is now keen to move on after Pepe apologised both privately and publicly on social media.
