Nicolas Pepe has left Arsenal following the termination of his contract, the club announced on Saturday.

The winger’s time with the north London club has not gone as planned since his arrival in 2019 in a record transfer worth €80 million.

He was linked with a move throughout the summer, but no transfer materialized before the end of the window. Today, the former Ligue 1 player is free to sign with a new club after the Gunners agreed to end his current lease.

Pepe, who has scored 27 goals in 112 appearances for the club, is on his way to Trabzonspor in Turkey. He had already been the subject of an offer from Besiktas, in the same championship, and Saudi Arabia had also shown interest.

Mikel Arteta’s team, for its part, will be in action again on September 17, against Everton.
