Nicolas Pepe Talks Unai Emery Arsenal Influence, Champions League Ambitions

Record Arsenal signing Nicolas Pepe has spoken of how manager Unai Emery has helped him settle in to life at the Emirates Stadium.

After Pepe's stunning season with Lille in Ligue 1 last term, the Gunners parted with a reported fee of £72 million to sign the winger in the summer. Pepe has been on the bench for the first two games of the Premier League season, though he has impressed in his cameos against Newcastle United and Burnley.

Speaking to Arsenal Player (h/t Liam Prenderville of the Daily Mirror), Pepe said having someone like Emery around has helped the transition into life at his new club.
