Did You Know? 5 facts about Arsenal transfer target Nicolas Pepe

Big Break

Despite making his professional debut in 2014, aged 18, it was a loan to Division 3 US Orleans in 2015/16 which helped Pepe reach the standard required to play top-level football on a regular basis. During his year at the club he scored seven times in 30 matches to help them achieve promotion to Ligue 2. Angers immediately put him into their first-team on a weekly basis the following year, where he played a big part in them reaching the French Cup final for the first time in 60 years. They were defeated 1-0 by PSG in the final but had written many headlines along the way.
