Arsenal will loan Nicolas Pepe to Nice.

Pepe's departure is a reflection of his minimal impact since making a club-record £72 million move from Lille in 2019.

Pepe has scored 27 goals in 112 appearances but started just five games last season as manager Mikel Arteta preferred Bukayo Saka, Gabriel Martinelli and Emile Smith Rowe among others in Arsenal's wide positions.
