Arsenal are reportedly prepared to entertain offers of £25m for out-of-favour attacker Nicolas Pepe in the summer transfer window.

Arsenal are reportedly willing to entertain offers of £25m for attacker Nicolas Pepe this summer.

The Gunners' most expensive signing has been restricted to a bit-part role under Mikel Arteta this term due to the strong form of Bukayo Saka, Gabriel Martinelli and Emile Smith Rowe, starting just five games in the Premier League.

Arteta claimed to have seen a "different" Pepe since his return from the Africa Cup of Nations, but the Ivory Coast international still normally finds himself among the substitutes in the Arsenal dugout.

Despite forking out £72m to sign him from Lille in the summer of 2019, Calciomercato now claims that Arsenal will only demand a €30m (£25.1m) figure to part ways with Pepe.

The 26-year-old recently hinted that his future may lie away from Arsenal, where he now has just over two years left to run on his existing contract.

Pepe has scored 27 goals and set up 20 more in 107 games for Arsenal across all competitions, but he has only managed one goal and one assist in 15 Premier League outings this term.
