Nicolas Pepe had an interesting message to Arsenal fans amid reports the club is ready to offload him this summer.

The £72million winger has been heavily linked with an Arsenal exit, with the likes of Newcastle United being tipped to be his next destination.

According to 90min, The Magpies are interested but have not made a formal offer.

Despite failing to live up to his hefty price tag, Pepe seems to be committed to staying at the Emirates.

On Monday, July 25, the Ivory Coast international shared an image of himself on Instagram with a message reiterating his commitment to the Gunners.

"I worked hard during the summer. Change lot of things. Im focus and determined with @arsenal and my teammates." He said in the photo.

The fact that he has been part of Mikel Arteta’s squad during pre season should act as a great motivator for Pepe, who has mostly come on as a substitute.

At the same time, Arsenal would be open to sell their record signing, having already signed five players in the summer including the Manchester City duo of Oleksandr Zinchenko and Raheem Sterling.
