Arsenal outcast Nicolas Pepe is attracting interest from unnamed Saudi Arabian club.
The 28-year-old Ivory Coast international came with huge expectations due to the £140k-a-week wage he was earning.
He arrived at the Emirates Stadium in a deal worth £72m in the summer of 2019 and has been nothing short of a failure.
Pepe who can also play as a striker has made 112 appearances for the Gunners, registering 27 goals and 21 assists.
An unknown club in Saudi Arabia are ready to offer the 28-year-old a new contract who has entered the final 12 months of his Arsenal career.
The Saudi Arabian are currently negotiating a transfer fee with Arsenal ahead of a possible move.
Pepe recently turned down the chance to join Besiktas on a three-year contract.
The Gunners are also hoping to sell Albert Sambi Lokonga, Folarin Balogun, Rob Holding and Nuno Tavares before the summer transfer window shuts.
With the transfer window edging closer to it’s deadline, it remains to be seen whether Arsenal can cash in on the flop winger.
