Journalist Santi Aouna claims that Trabzonspor ar𓆉e ♛trying to conclude a deal to sign Arsenal forward Nicolas Pepe.

Aouna took to on Wednesday evening and shared the very latest on Pepe’s future at Arsenal.

Pepe has been fro🎐zen out by Mike𒅌l Arteta and spent the last campaign on loan at OGC Nice.

The Ivory Coast international was widely expected to secure a move away from the club during the summer, but a move failed to materialis🍸e before the British transfer deaꦆdline.

There has been talk that Arsenal could terminate the 28-year-old’s contract should he fail to secure a move away from🦩 the club.

But after claims the winger is attracting late interest from Saudi Arabia, it seems Trabzonspor are trying to wrap up a ⭕deal to sign Pepe.

Pepe on verge of leaving

Aouna claims the Turkish outfit are ‘trying to conclude’ a deal to sign Pepe before their transfer window shut🧔s n🐓ext week.

Indeed, the Arsenal man𝐆 could put pen to paper on a one-year deal to join Trabzonspor.

He wrote: ℱ“Trabzonspor is trying to conclude the deal of Nicolas Pepe from Arsenal. The player could sign for one year.”💦

Pepe made the switch to North London from LOSC Lille for what was a club-record fee of back in 2019🦹.

Of course, Arsenal have since sm🍒ashed their record to land Rice but it’s fair to say that Pepe’s time at the club just hasn’t worked out.

Thꦑe ‘‘ forward struggled to nail down a place in Arteta’s side and has often been inconsistent in an Arsenal shirt.

While the Gunners l🍬ook set to take a huge loss on the win🌳ger, they will probably just be keen to pick up a fee and move the player on.
