Paris Saint-Germain 'offered chance to sign Arsenal 's Nicolas Pepe'

The 26-year-old has endured a difficult time with the Gunners to date, scoring 27 goals in 112 appearances for the North London side since making the club-record £72m move from Lille in 2019.

The 2021-22 campaign was particularly a struggle for the Ivorian, with the form of the likes of Bukayo Saka, Gabriel Martinelli and Emile Smith Rowe seeing Pepe restricted to only five Premier League starts in a total of 20 league appearances.

As a result, it has been recently reported that Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta is prepared to allow the club to cut its losses on the forward by letting him leave the club this summer.

A latest development involves the Gunners offering Pepe to Ligue 1 side PSG according to a report from Foot Mercato, who suggest that the winger could be a replacement for the departing Angel Di Maria, who confirmed his exit from the French capital in recent days.

Out-of-contract Barcelona winger Ousmane Dembele has been heavily linked with a move to Mauricio Pochettino's side on a free transfer this summer, but the Frenchman remains uncertain on where his future lies as things stand.

Should Pepe make the move to PSG, he would return to a league in which he scored 35 goals in 74 appearances in the division for Lille between 2017 and 2019.
