Loic Remy tells Nicolas Pepe 'you can't have one day of being lazy' in the Premier League as he warns the £72m Arsenal man he risks being labelled a flop if he doesn't kick-start his Gunners career soon

Loic Remy has urged his former team mate Nicolas Pepe to remain focussed at Arsenal, in order to avoid becoming a flop at the Emirates.

The Ivorian played alongside Remy for a solitary season at Ligue 1 club Lille, Pepe scored 22 goals in 38 games in that campaign which convinced the Gunners to sign him for £72 million in the summer of 2019.

However, the 25-year-old has struggled since his switch to north London and has scored just seven Premier League goals in 42 appearances. Former Chelsea striker Remy who now plays for Turkish side Caykur Rizespor has urged Pepe to apply himself in order to succeed at Arsenal.
