EPL transfer: Four players set to leave Arsenal
Arsenal’s Nicolas Pepe, along with three other players, are rumored to be on the verge of leaving the club following some telling clues ahead of the clash with Monaco in the Emirates Cup. The UK Mirror reports that Pepe was not included in the squad for the match, and his name was also absent from the matchday program, suggesting a potential exit from the club.
Joining Pepe on the possible departure list is Portuguese left-back, Nuno Tavares, who was also missing from both the matchday program and Arteta’s squad. Turkish giants, Besiktas, have been linked with Pepe, while Galatasaray is reportedly interested in Tavares.
Midfielder Alber Sambi Lokonga, another summer signing for Arsenal, has been linked with a move to newly-promoted Burnley, and his absence from the matchday program adds fuel to the speculation.
Finally, young academy graduate, Arthur Okonkwo, has also been subject to transfer rumors, and the club seems ready to allow him to leave on a permanent basis.
