Nicolas Pepe set a record for Arsenal when he joined from Lille in 2019 for a staggering £72 million transfer fee.
Even after the game-changing Oleksandr Zinchenko and Gabriel Jesus arrived from Manchester City in the summer, Pepe's price remains the highest Arsenal have paid for a single player.
Stan Kroenke, the owner of Arsenal, may witness a record transfer from his team yield nothing or very little because the player will be allowed to negotiate a transfer to a foreign club as early as January.
Pepe joined Nice in August after making a loan move to London and then returning to France, where he was born and played his entire professional career.

Even if Pepe leaves Arsenal permanently in the summer for a price higher than the CIES Football Observatory estimate,
it will still be considerably less than what Arteta's team paid to recruit him. Yet, Pepe hasn't been lazy in his efforts; Arteta is a great supporter.
He has tried everything, and Arteta described his attitude and general demeanor as "phenomenal." "You simply have to get to know the person because you adore him just as he is.
Yet when it came to choosing who to play on the field, we made other choices, which undoubtedly affected his chances to demonstrate his talent.
