Nicolas Pepe has pondered what his future at Arsenal might look like as his loan spell with Nice draws to a close.

While Mikel Arteta's transformed side continue their hunt to land a first Premier League title for the club in nearly two decades, the club's record signing has played no part after departing on loan to the French top flight in August.

During his return to France Pepe has made 17 Ligue 1 appearances, and has recently returned from a knee injury that saw him miss much of first part of 2023.
