Nicolas Pepe: Nice sign Arsenal and Ivory Coast winger on season-long loan

Ligue 1 club Nice have signed Arsenal winger Nicolas Pepe on loan.

The season-long deal does not include an option to buy the 27-year-old, who started just five times for the Gunners last season.

Pepe joined the north London side for a club-record £72m from Lille in 2019 but has not been able to establish himself in the Premier League.

"Everyone at Arsenal wishes Nico well in France with Nice next season," the club said.

The Ivorian, whose contract expires in 2024, did not appear in any of Arsenal's opening Premier League matches this season.
