The Gunners made the Ivory Coast international their club-record signing over the summer, with a deal done without Champions League football to offer
Nicolas Pepe admits his €80 million (£71m/$87m) price tag is a little “crazy”, but insists it is not a burden and has no regrets at opting to link up with Arsenal.
The Ivory Coast international secured a club-record move to the Gunners over the summer as those at the Emirates Stadium were prepared to spend big after seeing Pepe star in Ligue 1 with Lille.
He has come a long way in a short space of time, having been gracing the third tier in France at Orleans in 2015-16, but insists he is unfazed by the money and pressure which now surrounds him.
