NICOLAS PEPE has finally left Arsenal after posing on a private plane in a Trabzonspor kit.
The winger in 2019 became the Gunners most expensive player at the time following his move from Lille for £72million.
Nicolas Pepe left Arsenal after posing on a private plane in a Trabzonspor kit.
But he failed to fit in at the North London side and managed just 27 goals in 112 Arsenal matches.
Pepe fell out of favour with manager Mikel Arteta but the club struggled to sell him.
Eventually, Emirates bosses cut their losses on the player and terminated his £150,000-a-week contract.
Pepe has since agreed a move to Trabzonspor in Turkey and posed wearing the club’s colours on a private jet.
As revealed by SunSport, Arsenal warned the forward he would NEVER play for them again.
Turkish title contenders Besiktas and Al Shabab in Saudi Arabia were also interested in signing him.
Pepe was ordered to train alone after returning from an unsuccessful loan spell at Nice.
He did even have a squad number after his number 19 shirt was handed to Leandro Trossard at the beginning of the year.
His lack of activity cost him his place in the Ivory Coast squad for their forthcoming games against Lesotho and Mali.
But Pepe will be hoping his move to Turkey will spark a fresh start.
He beamed after joining Trabzonspor and pointed towards the club’s badge ahead of his transfer.
