ARSENAL star Nicolas Pepe has reached an agreement to sign for Trabzonspor, according to reports.<\/p>\n
The winger has supposedly snubbed approaches from Saudi Arabian sides in favour of a move to the Super Lig.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Reports in Turkey suggest a private plane is ready to head to London to pick up the player.<\/p>\n
Pepe has one year left on his deal at the Emirates Stadium and it has been claimed that his contract could be mutually terminated to facilitate the transfer.<\/p>\n
The 28-year-old signed for Arsenal in 2019 from Lille for a then club record fee of \u00a372million.<\/p>\n
He played 112 times for the club across three seasons, scoring 27 goals.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Pepe was then loaned out to Nice last term but failed to do enough to convince Mikel Arteta to hand him a second chance at the Gunners.<\/p>\n
The Ivorian has since been ordered to train alone and was not offered a shirt number in the club's attempts to force him out.<\/p>\n
Pepe earns a supposed \u00a3150,000-a-week, meaning Arsenal would have to fork out an additional \u00a36.5m in wages if his move to Trabzonspor falls through.<\/p>\n
The team based in the north of Turkey won the league two years ago and crashed out of the Conference League last term in the knockout play-off round by Basel.<\/p>\n
