‘Phenomenal’ player Arsenal sold this summer finally scores first goal for his new club
Former Arsenal winger Nicolas Pepe has now scored his first goal for Trabzonspor in Turkey, and did it in quite a dramatic fashion.
After leaving Arsenal, Pepe wasn’t in t𒁏he squad for his new club for the first fou♚r games after his arrival as he built fitness.
But following two substitute🐟 appearances and 28 minutes of game time, the 28-year-old was deemed ready for his first Trabzonspor start.
A tough away trip to Besiktas was the occasion, but it didn’t prove💞 one that was beyond Pepe.
And with Trabzonspor already two goals ahead, Pepe lashed home a tidy finish in the 47th minute t🌌o make it 3-0.
Und💮erstandably, Pepe was then substituted in the 62nd minute given he is still trying to find his way back to his peak condition.
Trabzonspor’s brilliant win was widely celebrated on , and Arsenal fans will surely be very happy to see Pepe enjoying his football ꦺagain.
The Turkish team did ꦏof Pepe celebrat🍒ing his goal with the caption: ‘He is a star: Nicolas Pepe’.
Pepe is up and running for Trabzonspor after leaving Arsenal
Of course, a lo🌜t of Arsenal ꩲfans won’t be surprised to see their signing already faring well in Turkey.
A player with൩ so much talent, but one that just couldn’t find rhyt🌃hm at Arsenal.
Like yesterday for Trabzonspor, Pepe did have some brilliant moments at Arsenal, and some of those did come under Mikel Arteta.
But ultimately it seemed that Arteta didn’t enviღsion ‘’ Pe🔜pe as part of Arsenal’s future.
And although it’s very hypothetical, Arsenal may have benefited from a p💜layer with Pepe’s attacking quality against Newcastle United yesterday.
Arsenal looked bereft of creativity, e♛v꧃en if Declan Rice was doing a brilliant job trying to drag his side forward.
And although Mikel Arteta was probably right in feeling aggrieved 𓆏towards the officials after ▨the game, he surely will have some concerns over the performance too.
Arsenal missed Martin Odegaard, even if he’s not been in his best form of late.
And Wednesday’s tie with Sevilla now loo▨ks like an excellent opportunity to produce an assured and exciting performanc🔜e.
