Lacazette warns Arsenal’s Premier League rivals over ‘confident’ Pepe

Alexandre Lacazette believes the Premier League is about to see the best of Nicolas Pepe.

It’s been a slow start to life for Arsenal’s club record signing since his £72 million ($94m) move from Lille last summer but he has shown signs in recent weeks that he is starting to feel comfortable in north London.

Pepe scored one and set up two as the Gunners thumped Newcastle United 4-0 on Sunday , taking his goal tally for the season to six in 28 games.
