'Pepe has a big future at Arsenal' - Arteta still believes in £72m winger, says Campbell

Nicolas Pepe has a "big future" at Arsenal, according to Kevin Campbell, who says Mikel Arteta still believes in the £72 million ($96m) winger.

Pepe has flattered to deceive since arriving at Emirates Stadium from Lille for a club-record fee in the summer of 2019.

The 25-year-old established himself as one of the most exciting young players in Europe at Stade Pierre-Mauroy but has so far been unable to build on that reputation in the Premier League.

Pepe has only scored once in eight Premier League appearances for the Gunners in 2020-21 and invited the wrath of supporters when he was sent off in his last league outing against Leeds United on November 22.
