Nicolas Pepe has been one of Arsenal's better players this season, showing glimpses of his quality on numerous occasions against top teams.
A brilliant strike to end our 9-game winless streak, and a short thread followed showing his best games in the PL this season.

Personally, I have absolutely enjoyed everything I've seen from him this season. There is a proper player hidden, and the only thing he lacked was confidence.
4 goals and 6 assists in 15 premier league starts, sounds good to me!

At Lille, Pepe played in a counter-attacking system under Christophe Galtier, which meant he had more space to work his magic in the opposition half. However, the fact that Arsenal keeps possession of the ball more often than not makes it a bit difficult for him to play passes.
It's unfair to criticise him just after one season, where he has not been fully supported by his former manager. The potential is there, and Mikel Arteta seems like the perfect manager to groom a pacy, skilful and goalscoring winger like him.
