After an impressive summer transfer to London's "Arsenal" for approximately 80 million euros, Ivorian forward Nicolas Pepe has not yet managed to score goals in the Premier League in five matches, but has provided one assist.
"Gunners" manager Unai Emery stated before Sunday's match against "Aston Villa" that the Ivory Coast national team footballer still needs time to adapt, but he expects that in the near future N. Pepe will bring a lot of benefits to the team.
"He still needs time to adapt. Nicolas plays well, but we know that in the future he will help us even more. I would like his adaptation to be completed as soon as possible, and the perfect opportunity for that will be the match against "Aston Villa".
We are paying more attention to him. After training, we watch videos of Nicolo's playing episodes. This way he will understand the team's tactical aspects faster. Pepe is already playing well, but we want every player to constantly improve," Emery said at the press conference.
