There I was thinking one of the perks of Pepe’s loan was we didn't have to discuss him no more

Pepe agrees 25 per cent pay cut to leave Arsenal on loan

Nicolas Pepe became Arsenal’s record signing when he joined the club following a £72m move from Lille in the summer of 2019.

Just three years on, it can be revealed the 27-year-old has taken a £2.5m pay cut to leave north London after agreeing a season-long loan move to Nice.

The Ligue 1 club are paying half of his salary, which is understood to be around £10m a year. Arsenal are then contributing 25 per cent and Pepe has agreed to forgo the rest, such was his eagerness to return to playing in France.

Sources have commented on how unusual this is at clubs that are not experiencing financial difficulties, such as Barcelona. The deal is a straight loan for Pepe and Nice have no option to buy.

The Ivory Coast international made his debut in a 3-0 home defeat by Marseille on Sunday and is set for a reunion with Lille on Wednesday.

Arsenal had hoped to bring in Pedro Neto following Pepe’s departure but the move is now looking highly improbable, with Wolverhampton Wanderers reluctant to sell this summer and the level of fee that might persuade them otherwise looking unrealistic for Mikel Arteta’s side.

Wow

Fair play to him, seems like he really wants to play regular first team football.

Good attitude.

Think he'll do well at Nice tbh.

 

[Macho]

This guy is finished ngl, probably goes Turkey after this.

 

[boonthegoon]

Pathetic threadmark.

 

[Tir Na Nog]

Guy just wanted to be given a chance.

 

[Pop Tart]

Bit silly all this hate on the guy, he is a frustrating player to watch. Moments of brilliance in a game and mostly non brilliance but he has the right attitude and has never been a **** to us. was good in fa cup win for us. seems the hipster thing to hate on him right now, along with Tierney.
