Big things were expected from Nicolas Pepe when he joined Arsenal for club-record £72 million from Lille FC in the summer transfer window of 2019.

However, the Ivory Coast international has failed to justify the transfer fee the Gunners paid to sign him. He has played 80 English Premier League games for the club so far, scoring 16 goals.

Pepe fell down the pecking order at the Emirates Stadium last season, starting just five EPL games. According to the Daily Mail, the former Lille attacker wants to leave the Gunners in this transfer window.

On that note, here’s a list of three potential destinations for the winger should he decide to move on.

West Ham United

According to The Independent (via Hammers.com), West Ham United have shown interest in signing Nicolas Pepe recently.

Signing a new attacker will be a key priority for David Moyes, considering his lack of options upfront. Moyes only has Andriy Yarmolenko, Michail Antonio, Jarrod Bowen and Said Benrahma as senior attackers in the squad.

Pepe’s style of play should tune in well with Moyes’s tactical philosophy, who likes his team to play counter-attacking football.

The Ivory Coast international also has experience of European football, which could play a key role in the Hammers’ UEFA Europa Conference League campaign.

According to the Sun, the Gunners are demanding a transfer fee in the region of £25 million for Pepe. It remains to be seen if David Moyes is willing to pay that sum to bring the Ivory Coast international to the London Stadium.

Newcastle United

Newcastle United struggled offensively last season, scoring just 44 goals in 38 league games. Eddie Howe will look to sign a new attacker as he prepares for a major overhaul of his squad under new ownership this summer.

Pepe is an explosive attacker who is known for his pace, dribbling skills and aerial ability. According to WhoScored, he averaged 1.2 shots, one dribble, and a 0.9 aerial duel win per 90 last season. He also completed 83.7 per cent of his passes in the league.

According to L’Équipe (via Sport Witness), Bayer Leverkusen attacker Moussa Diaby is a priority signing for the Tyneside club this summer.

However, the German side are reportedly demanding a transfer fee in the region of £63 million(as per DailyMail) to sell the France international. They could look to sign Pepe if they fail in their pursuit of Diaby.

Paris Saint-Germain

According to Foot Mercato (via ESPN), Paris Saint-Germain are eyeing a move for Nicolas Pepe. PSG see the winger as a replacement for Angel Di Maria, who is set to leave the club as a free agent.

The winger enjoyed massive success during his time in Ligue 1 with Lille OSC.

According to the aforementioned source, the Gunners have offered Pepe to several clubs in recent weeks.

However, offloading him could be difficult due to his massive wages (£140,000 per week).

Kosova sot do të luajë ndaj Greqisë nga ora 20:45, në ndeshjen e vlefshme për Grupin e 2 të Ligës C të Ligës së Kombeve.

Kosovës në tri ndeshjet e muajit qershor ka marr 6 pikë, ku fitoi dy herë ndaj Qipros dhe Irlandës së Veriut dhe pësoi humbje pikërisht ndaj Greqisë me rezultatin 1-0 në stadiumin “Fadil Vokrri”.

Përzgjedhësi i Kosovës, Alain Giresse ka probleme të mëdha për këtë sfidë pasi ka mungesa të shumta me futbollistë të lënduar dhe me kartonë.

Bëhet fjalë për Edon Zhegrovën dhe Benjamin Kolollin të dëmtuar, ndërsa Lirim Kastratin, Ibrahim Dresevicin dhe Betim Fazlijin nuk do të jenë në fushë shkaku i kartonëve.

Ndërkaq, në stërvitjen e fundit i diferencuar nga pjesa tjetër e ekipit ka stërvitur Vedat Muriqi, por ai do të jetë i gatshëm për lojë.

Arsenal finished the 2021/22 season in fifth place and returned to the Europa League after a two-year absence.

Despite sometimes being looked down upon, the competition offers its fair share of benefits.

Arsenal are back in Europe for the first time in what feels like forever. While it’s not the competition we wanted, the Europa League still has its perks.

Many have laughed off Arsenal competing in the Europa League next season as often it is looked at as a second-rate competition.

Still, it is far from that, and it offers players yet another competition on the continental stage to showcase their talents.

Here are three benefits of the Gunners competing in the Europa League next season.

1. More playing time for squad players

This is the obvious one. Last season, we saw William Saliba loaned out specifically because Arsenal did not have enough games to play.

Once a week in the league was not enough, given that the club was knocked out of the FA by the Premier League-bound Nottingham Forest.

While players like Saliba, Albert Sambi Lokonga, and Rob Holding will see more game time, it also provides opportunities for some of the club’s academy players to get valuable exposure to first-team football.

Players like Arthur Okonkwo, Charlie Patino, Catalin Cirjan, Ben Cottrell, Omari Hutchinson, Miguel Azeez, and Marcelo Flores could benefit from seeing minutes at different stages of the season.

We saw Cottrell and Patino get minutes in the domestic cups last season, and add in an extra competition; they could be seeing more game time in 2022.

2. Increases the finances

While the finances aren’t in the same ballpark as the Champions League, Arsenal will profit from playing in the Europa League next season.

Per sportingnews.com, all 32 clubs participating in the competition get a nice £3.34 million as an entry bonus, then £579,54 for a win and £193,20 for a draw.

If Arsenal win their group, another £1.01 million will be coming their way.

We expect the club to make it beyond the group stage, and that is where the money increases.

Should the Gunners make it to at least the quarterfinals, they will bank a minimum of £1.65 million, which rises to £7.90 million if they win the competition.

Now, compared to the Champions League, these are rookie numbers. But it’s more money than what Arsenal have earned the previous two seasons. Any extra income is greatly appreciated at this stage.

It might not seem like it is worth it, but the fact is the club has a chance to increase its money from the competition, one that many would expect them to go far in.

3. Another gateway into the Champions League

One that perhaps gets overlooked by some. With other clubs in the Premier League sure to strengthen, the battle for the top-four will be even tighter than last season.

It presents a significant challenge, especially considering that Arsenal now will play in an extra competition.

As we know, the winners of the Europa League punch their ticket into the Champions League for next season, like Eintracht Frankfurt did this previous season after they defeated Rangers in the final.

With so much pressure during the league season, Arsenal will still have a “get out of jail” card to qualify for the Champions League.

While not ideal, as we would ideally like to finish inside the top four regardless, the fact that there are now two ways in which the club can qualify is a bonus.

As we saw in 2019/20, the final was a chance for the Gunners to claim a Champions League spot miraculously.

After finishing eighth in the league table, there was still an opportunity to return to Europe’s premier club competition.

As we know, the club failed, and another eighth-place finish followed in 2020/21.

While it is unconventional for Arsenal not to qualify for the Champions League by getting into the top four as we had become accustomed to under Arsene Wenger, now we are looking at any way to get back.

The Europa League provides the club with that opportunity.

Kosova është mysafire e Greqisë për ndeshjen e katërt në kuadër të Grupit 2 të Ligës C në Ligën e Kombeve.

Dardanët kanë arkëtuar gjashtë pikë në tri sfidat e parë duke humbur vetëm nga Helenët.

Ndërkohë, ekipi nikoqir ka rekord të qind për qind në tri takimet e para dhe Kosova synon t’ia prishë këtë statistikë.

Me gjithë mungesat e shumta, përzgjedhësi Alain Giresse ka caktuar taktikat dhe formacionin e tij kundrejt atyre të homologut Gustavo Poyet.

Kosova: Muric, Aliti, Kryeziu, Rrahmani, Domgjoni, Rudhani, V.Berisha, Bytyqi, Muslija, Rashica, Muriqi.

Jack Wilshere claims Arsenal will complete the signing of Gabriel Jesus from Manchester City this summer due to Mikel Arteta’s relationship with the player.

The Gunners want to sign a new striker and have identified the Brazil international as their top target.

Eddie Nketiah, whose current deal runs out this month, has been offered a new contract, while Alexandre Lacazette has returned to Lyon on a free transfer.

Victor Osimhen, Lautaro Martinez and Richarlison have been linked with a move to the Emirates Stadium but it is understood Jesus is at the top of Arsenal’s list.

City could allow the 25-year-old to leave the club following Erling Haaland’s big-money arrival from Borussia Dortmund and it is understood they will demand a fee in the region of £40million.

Arteta worked with Jesus during his three-and-a-half year stint as Pep Guardiola’s assistant at City and is keen to reunite with the forward, who has scored 95 goals in 236 games since joining from Palmeiras in 2017.

In total, Jesus has won four Premier League titles, one FA Cup and four EFL Cups.

When asked about the possibility of Jesus signing for Arsenal, Wilshere told talkSPORT: “He has a year left on his contract?

They could get him cheaper if they hold out. I’ve done that before [run down my contract] – you get more money that way, it’s a fact.

“That’s why the players do it. I think they will be queuing up [for Jesus].

I think Arsenal will have a big chance of signing him because of his relationship with his manager. I think Newcastle would go for him. But I would love to see him at Arsenal.”

The Gunners also want to bring in a midfielder during the transfer window, with Youri Tielemans linked with a move from Leicester.

The 24-year-old has one year left on his contract and could be available for a bargain price if the Foxes are willing to sell their star man this summer.

Meanwhile, the The Telegraph claimed Arsenal are considering a move for Leeds winger Raphinha.

The Brazilian is one of the Premier League’s most exciting prospects and his displays have reportedly attracted attention from the likes of Liverpool and Barcelona, but it now appears Arteta’s Gunners have entered the race for his signature.

Another player who could make the switch to North London is Gianluca Scamacca, with the Sassuolo striker supposedly ‘open’ to playing his football outside of his native Italy next season, despite previously enduring a difficult stint in the Netherlands with PSV.

That is according to The Athletic, who claim the 23-year-old may be on his way to the Gunners.
