Pepe admits that Arteta has made Arsenal into an improved squad

Under Mikel Arteta, Nicolas Pepe admits that there has been significant improvement – which was much needed ever since Unai Emery was sacked.

“Things have been going positively so far, we’ve got some good results and have been playing good football,” Pepe said on the Arsenal official website. 

“There has certainly been some encouraging signs and we know that we do have quality and we have what it takes to do well on the pitch.

“Mikel Arteta has explained to me what he would like me to do on the pitch and he has shown me videos that have stressed the importance of my positioning.

“He has told me exactly what he would like me to do to help me progress as a player.”

He also stated that by being on the side of Arsenal players like Alexandre Lacazette, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Mesut Ozil, his performance has seen great improvement.

“It’s great to play with such players [like Lacazette, Aubameyang and Ozil] and it’s been working rather well,” he continued.

“We are good with linking up with each other and we’re capable of playing good football. 

“We support one another on the pitch and as an attacking player it’s always great to have someone like Mesut Ozil feeding passes into you so it’s enjoyable.”
