Graeme Souness that he can see Nicolas Pepe being a star at Arsenal after watching his performance against Newcastle United on Sunday.
Mikel Arteta’s side produced a stunning second-half display to beat the Magpies 4-0 at the Emirates.
Pepe scored the Gunners’ second goal after setting up the first for Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.
He would also help round off the scoring by providing the assist for Alexandre Lacazette in stoppage-time.
It was another reminder of the potential that Pepe boasts and has shown in glimpses since arriving in North London.
And following the win, Souness insisted that he has extremely high hopes for the Ivory Coast international, drawing parallels between Pepe and Thierry Henry.
“I like him. I think there’s a real, real player in there,” . “If you think of their best ever player, Thierry, coming here, didn’t have a great first year, took him a bit of time.
“I see Pepe being a star here. Great feet, electric.”
In fairness to Pepe, he looks set to end the campaign with very respectable goals and assists tallies given that he did take a while to get going.
He has now scored four and set up five in the top flight. Meanwhile, he has had a direct hand in four goals in the Europa League, scoring twice.
And with Arsenal really starting to turn a corner since Arteta was appointed, it would be no surprise to see the youngster add to those returns before the campaign concludes.
