Fabrizio Romano has confirmed that Nicolas Pepe medicals is going ahead today
Pepe’s departure from Arsenal has been rumoured for the past two summers, and to be honest, it should have happened a year ago, but his expensive salaries and transfer cost have made finding a buyer extremely difficult.
But a deal with Nice in Ligue 1 appears to be done, as Fabrizio Romano has announced that the Ivorian winger will have a physical in France today.
Nicolas Pépé has reduced his salary in order to make Nice move possible. French club will cover main part of his wages, green light arrived and documents ready with Arsenal. 🚨🔴 #AFC

I would think the 27 year-old will be desperate to get some regular playing time, considering he was considered one of the stars of Ligue 1 just a few seasons ago, and he simply needs to get his career back on track, so it is no wonder he has agreed to take a cut in wages to escape from the Emirates…
But, more importantly for the Gunners, this should mean that they can now find a replacement for Saka, who doesn’t appear to have hit his stride yet this season.
The transfer window has not yet closed….
